searching Hallmark/copeland
I have gone this route because my mother always told me that her mother was Cherokee Don't know why she put it that way, why she didn't include herself. I've also gotten that confirmation from one of my cousins. (Who I met doing research on my grandmother).
The following is all I've been able to get in my quest for a tree for my grand kids. I have not included myself or my mother in this post: If the following rings any bells I'd appreciate the help. I can not afford at this time to purchase any thingto aide in this search as I'm am laid off and looking for work. My Great grand mother and father is where I've gotten way lost. I can't seem to get further.
THank you in advance for your support.I have highlighted in red who I know to be my people, In yellow those I'm not sure of.
