i need to found my family or my ancestros

Answer 1

Start with you do know. If you know either of your grandparent's names, go to Rootsweb.com and use their wonderful family search tool. In genealogy, you always begin with the first ancestor or relative you know. Searching is great fun. There are likely others searching for the same family line as yours. Those people will also be listed at that site, so you can write to them for the information they know, add it to yours, and move along. Rootsweb has the most complete surname database in the world, except for the Mormons.

Answer 2

You can get a 14 free trial of ancestry.com, which is more than enough to get all your ancestry information together about your ancestors for these purposes, at the links below.

If there's chance your mom already had a tribal membership card from the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, you can simply send them a certified copy of your birth certificate along with the registration form and they will assign you an enrollment number, send you a blue card (tribal enrollment card) and white card (Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood or CDIB). It is similar but a little more involved if she was a member of the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians.

If, on the other hand, she was never registered it's still no problem. Once you know your family history, if you can trace it back to a person on the Dawes rolls, you can get enrolled with the Cherokee Nation. If you have an ancestor on the Baker rolls, and can show you are at least 1/16 Eastern Cherokee blood, you can join the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians. There's also a Keetoowah Cherokee band with additional requirements.

If you don't really know where to start, or can't get enough information about your ancestry to complete the tasks above, it's best to begin at the Cherokee Registry (it's free). There you can see the different eligibilities, and where you need to file depending on your where your ancestors lived and the rolls they may be on. Information about all three Cherokee groups is listed there.

Answer 3

If you are Cherokee,you should be able to find a family line through the Cherokee Nation Council in Oklahoma.

Answer 4

http://cherokee.org is your tribe's official site.

It has a whole section on genealogy.

Note ORG, not COM.

Cherokee.com is a p**n site. It has nothing to do with Cherokees.

It isn't the first time someone has stolen something from the Indians.
