Can't find roots beyond my Great Grand Mother who was a Kituwah Cherokee. First western settlers in eastern Oklahoma. She died when my Grand Mother was 2 yrs. old. I cant find ancestors even through census and rolls. Nobody is alive from my Mothers side of family where this bloodline is.
How can I get help ?
Not looking for any tribal relief, just where my roots go beyond.
I don't want to offend a tribe by asking, as it is my understanding, that the Kituwah had prided themselves by not mixing blood, therefore keeping true blood.
My Grandmother said her Mothers tribe settled before the second wave of tribal settlers moved west, including before the trail of tears.
Any suggestions ? Who would I consult ?
Thanks Fox, always like your posts. I did live on Ellsworth in the early 70's when I was younger. You were never stationed there were you ?
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14703874 First, no never at Ellsworth, every where else tho. lol About your ancestors, the problem is that no clear records were kept on early Natives. The government did not consider them more than any other animal so they kept no records hardly before the trail of tears. They did log some of them. If you have no relatives to rely on, the trail is cold. IMO Kind of figured would lead to a dead end. Thanks for your input, be well my friend. Have you checked the old settlers rolls out of Oklahoma?
