  I?ve been researching my ancestry in order to acquire my Cherokee Certificate of Degree on Indian Blood/Tribal Membership. In my research I discovered my great-grandfather x6 is Henry D. (Sequoia) GIST, who, ?Developed original Cherokee Indian alphabet?.

  Is if this was not cool enough? I found that my blood line goes through many Kings and Queens, along with Civil War and War of 1812 inlisted, and was able to trace all the way to about 350 A.D.

  My question is: Is it normal, with all the people on the earth today, to be related to these people? Or is it Okay to feel special?

  Well, lemme see ..

  Yer from Texas, man, what's with this 'normal' shyte? Never gonna be ...

  And yes, you ARE special, we all are. But feeling special cause you're related to 'royalty', well, that's another thing.

  Now, if this was a "religion or politics" thread, you would be expected to PROVE this lineage.

  Here's a thought for ya, JC had quite the ancestry, and look what happened to HIM. (j/k)

  But seriously, I assume you took the last traceable king, then related all the previous ancestry? Cause once you're related to any 'royalty', then they are all pretty much inbred so it makes sense that the connection would continue backwards in time.

  IMHO, it doesn't make you any more special than every other dude in the world. They (royalty) put their pants on one leg at a time, just like all the commoners.

  And yes, I do think it's way cooool !

  On one side, my ancestors were French Huguenots (think of l'acadien) who fled religious persecution in the mid 1800s and brought their wealth with them (unfortunately, my grandmother was the 'black sheep' of the family so we didn't inherit any of it) and Germans who also came over b/c of religious persecution, but in the mid 1600s, received a land grant (still in the family) and were the strong, gentle, country type of fishing folk.

  Then, about 3 generations ago, they joined 'the Dark Side'. It all went to 'hell in a handbasket' around the turn of the century, damm that CT Russell anyway!!!

  On the other side, I'm Welsh and French.

  Haven't gone back any farther, but it might prove interesting ...

  and BTW, don't worry about the Texas thing, we know y'all can't help it!

  Ok well it is cool....but I am dubious of the 350 C.E. dating. As far as dating back to the kings and queens, that isnt necessarily so hard. But to relate events and genealogies that far back? Certainly not from the anglos? Very interested in how you arrived at that.

  talesin : Cool... I just think it's wild to find that history.

  Highlandr: I understand your apprehintion (sp), though I could provide you with about 50 links down to the last King, but I doubt anyone cares that much to go through all of them. In the near future though I will have the family tree on my website.
