Way cool!
What an exciting adventure. I too, have Cherokee blood in my veins. My grandmother's mother was pure and died in Georgia about the time of the "walk".
People in my family did not seem to be proud of this heritage and never wished to discuss it whenever inquiries were brought up during my youth. Now they are dead and gone, and there is little to piece together. I hope you will be successful in your attempts to gain membership. It is definitely a very tight clan. I am very proud of my heritage.
