We may be onto something. I know one of my ancestors came over in the middle of the war
from Germany and we have a strong Cherokee connection from him, even I have many features
that are Indian. I spent many summers with that part of my family in Cherokee NC when I
was little, when it was a tiny rv park. The birth certificate I found for my Grandmother
