I’ve been working on my family tree for years, building up the ever expanding tree as new records become available. But the one gap that consistently remains is my great grandmother. She was forced to walk the trail of tears from Alabama to Oklahoma where I think my grandfather married her. They then moved to Arkansas. I have record of her children and death, but no beginning. One of these days I’ll find her. Fingers crossed! The fact that she survived the march is a miracle in my book. I’m so happy I found this page!
My ancestors were in Fort Payne. Treated no better than cattle, outside in open pens, no matter what the weather was. Dysentery, lice, pneumonia, starvation, were mentioned by survivors. It was a horror that was never forgotten, we meet yearly near there.
All walks of life are our brothers and sisters. Please be careful with your words. "No better than cattle" implies the treatment of "livestock" is justified. All children of the land need to stick together against the common threat to our Mother, regardless of race or species.
When my husbands family returned to the Carolinas they found nothing that had been theirs before that's why my husband's family wound up in Florida and Alabama cause they had kin there. They returned to the Cumberland in 1970's but still none of them are permanently there. I just tied into his Bear side I kept telling him I was kin way back, he kept saying no his Mama would've known, 🤭 eight generations back on me and six on him, we share a grandfather. Our grandson has been helping me, he's three he loves to see the pictures one of them looks like my husband he got excited hollered Papa papa and here it was his fourth great. 💕. I did not know the ability of a woman to take a second husband that I did not find out till the last couple of weeks and I've been doing this since I was 12 years of age and I'm 47 that's 35 years of genealogy and this is the first time I've ever heard of the women more than one husband.

It is heart breaking what they did to our people! 😭
Yes it is very heart breaking...my grandmother would cry telling about it.
