Hello,
Yes the Indian CATES, at least in my family the indian ancestry is down the female line in
our family.
We are definitely Indian as I am full member of the chickamauga cherokee indian creek
tribe
our Cheif's gggranmother was a CATES my GGgrandmother was full blooded indian.
Remember each families DNA is different your line may not have inter-bread with the indian
- But other branches have. Many branches of the CATES line I have run into in my research
has -record of -or stories of- indian ancestry. The CATES line is huge, branching out
like a giant tree containing thousands of individuals.
I do not know about the KEATS line. or the Chief George gentleman. I was trying to find
more information about a posting from some time ago with no success.
Do not worry your still european it is clear everyone here would rather turn away a branch
of CATEs than admit Indian ancestry anywhere in the CATES line.
best wishes
I am indian and proud, goodbye
