Well, because genealogy is a very rewarding hobby. Not only do we get to play detective, uncovering facts and people from the past, we also learn about our family and a bit about ourselves.
Genealogy is the second most popular hobby in America and one of the fastest growing.
Those of us researching Native American ancestry have an added challenge. Native American genealogy research is a lot different from the genealogy of other ethnic groups. While others study ship records we have roll numbers, they trace property deeds while we research allotment homesteads. It can be confusing and a little frustrating for beginners. This site is designed just for Cherokee genealogy research.
