Cherokee Adoptions... I have been helping a very close friend, she is like my sister, help
her with her great great grandfather who was Native American and was adopted. What was
his real parents names?. My sisters g g grandfather was Thomas Henry- he was born in 8 JUL
1831 in Switzerland county IN= true or not? Did they falsyfy adoption records? His real
mother and grandmothers name was: Oshe Mal Ma Ark and Oshe Wal Ma Noche.
Now I know Cherokee, and they never used an "R" (like in Ark) only except a
very very long ago. And it could be in the Cherokee written language. There is an
alphabet with that shape, but pronouced differently. So it could have been from that.
Would you please reply with your names, and tell me how You knew or found out that they
were Cherokee.
Thank you
