(NC) Cherokee Reservation Genealogy - In 1838, the Federal Government forced most Cherokees west into what is now Oklahoma. The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians trace their descendancy from about 1,000 Cherokees who managed to elude this forced removal. About 300 of these claimed US citizenship; the rest were living in Tennessee and North Carolina towns or hiding in the mountains.

In early 2001, my mother, after researching for over 25 years, made a breakthrough in our family history and genealogy (see Genealogy). Nobody would have been more surprised than she to learn that she was a direct descendant of royalty, and she was able to extend our genealogy back over a thousand years relatively quickly. She's still a bit embarrassed by it, but I'm having fun with it. Our family seems to have had great instincts for picking the losing side in most wars, with the Norman conquest of Britain and the American Revolution being notable exceptions. Since they didn't leave me castles, gold and titles, at least they've left me a new-found interest in history.

When I was attempting to corroborate or disprove some of what she found, I discovered the following sites and they were both interesting and useful resources. Perhaps they'll prove to be helpful to you, as well.
