Thank you, My father's line goes back the Anderson, Cole ancestors. John Charles Cole and Cuzzie Anderson were my grandfather's grandparents. I just happened on your channel, nice surprise ! So truly I thank you.
Wow! How neat! Who was your grandfather? My fourth great grandfather, John Cole born 1799, is said to be their son. He first married/cohabitated with Peggy Mallet and had several children. Then, he married my fourth great grandmother, Eliza Bowman. They too had several children, one of which is Jacob Cole, my third great grandfather.
@@TheGenealogyReporter And they say "it's a small world," more proof. My grandfather was Carl B. Anderson born 1883, his grandfather was Ezekiel, son of John Charles Cole and Cuzzie Anderson.
i’ve linked my great grandmother who claimed to be cherokee later in life (her 1940 census just says white but i know a lot of cherokees didn’t claim to be back then) to her maiden name (she died before i had a chance to really explore my heritage) but she married a man last name Needham... now Needham goes back to the 1600’s and that man was a European settler. so i’m convinced Haun (cherokee meaning bear cub?) is where my cherokee comes from. but i can’t find anything else. my great grandmother was Minnie Beatrice Haun before marriage. married to Lee Corbit Booker. now i traced the Booker side all the was back to Captain Booker who came from Europe... so i know i’m European which makes sense. But my great grandmothers side just drops off after i find her mother who was Leona E Inklebarger, and her mother being Emeline Shelton and father being Stephen Rice Inklebarger. So this gets confusing because i don’t know where to look for the connection to cherokee... is it the Sheltons? The Inklebarger’s? i can’t find anything substantial. Help?
Thank you Amie
I found my great grandma and her mother on the Guion Miller Rolls
Can you do a a video on the Baker Rolls?
I have one! You can see it here: ua-cam.com/video/F7YVyTxVVzw/v-deo.html Thanks for watching!
@@TheGenealogyReporter Thank you!
I've recently found my great great grandfathers name in the guion Miller roll and he lived in new echota Georgia at some point but I was curious about what the letters gdn means by the name?
Are you only allowed to view the records, like you are, once you've paid them $$?
I have a question? if I were to give my DNA to discover my ancestors. Will my DNA be shared with the federal government.
I have 2 great great grandmothers who were full blood Cherokee on my father and mothrrs side. I married a man who was tribal member and had a card with the Cherokee tribe and he worked at the BIA. I read that I could apply for membsrship since ww were married. Is that true. Rebecca Drywater
Hi Rebecca. My understanding is that you would have to have documented proof of your Cherokee great-grandmothers Cherokee ancestry and show that they were on one of the rolls. I am married to my husband who is also an official Cherokee tribal member. He has his card through the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma. He has a documented great-grandmother on the Dawes Rolls. As his wife, I am not included as an official member. That's not how it works. However, they have always been kind to me, and allowed me to participate in events with him, but I don't get benefits from them. I have two 6th great-grandmothers that were Cherokee, but they were born in the mid to late 1700's, so I haven't been able to find them on the rolls. I think because they died before the rolls existed. However, I need to go on the website she suggested, Fold 3, and see if any of their children or their children happen to be on there. I hope this was helpful to you.
