Hi Drina:Glad to hear from you.I am happy to hear that you may make a tripto Ark. and look for some of the decesed relatives.I live in Calif. in the Sierra Mnts. so we can't make it to Ark. to far for us.My husband is 84 years and I am 76, too far for us.When in my researing for Larry's family info for his Mother's side, I found the Cherokee side of the family.Belive it or not, both my husband and his brother Dick, never knew about the Native American heritage, but were both very proud and excited about it.Right now I am trying to find info on another one of the family, who is 1/2 Cree Indian.There mother was b.1896 in Moose Factory, Ontario.It has been so very interesting, the Cree were a hard working people, both the Men and Women.I am lacking one little bit of being able to tie their mother in with one family.Their mother was named Lily Smallboy, I assume the title for their band of Cree.Well, right when you can, Drina, and maybe we can find the info that we need to prove the Heritage.I was thinking of going into Gen Forum recearhing the Jones/Foster side, to find anyone releated to Thomas Jefferson Jones, who did register his children and hiself.Maybe one of the kids might have saved some info?Have a great day, Nelda
