Tracing your Cherokee roots can be a worthwhile and difficult endeavor. It can be filled with surprise discoveries, shocking results, and citizenship that lasts a lifetime. Not everyone will find what they're looking for, some will find they didn't truly know who they were but gain a better understanding of their family story. Some will find new relatives they never knew they had, sometimes even brothers or sisters living in their same town.
Finding your Cherokee roots can also delve you deep into a rich and immersive culture full of entertaining stories, forgotten heroes, and a side of American history rarely taught. I wish you the best in finding what you're looking for.
