Dont think this went the first time so trying it again. Sorry if this is 2.
Started researching my line when I was 18. I was adopted when I was young and it has been
a hard road to follow. So many different spellings of last name. Hope doing this will help
me find answers. I had a Jone Brown Eagle Kerns/Kearns email me and tell me that the
Kerns line I was searching for was Native american. Shawnee and have found out by other
family members that there is also Cherokee in the family line. Please help me find
answers. including information of what I have. I will let it be known that was shared to
me by others. not proven as of yet. Dont get around like I did when I was very young so
have relied on others for much of my help.
