I write about my discoveries at www.peopleofpancho.com, and have such fun doing it. If you're really curious about your Cherokee heritage, you might consider DNA testing with either 23andMe or Ancestry.com--it's fascinating, and will perhaps reveal other ethnic connections you never imagined. It certainly did for me! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-66869370618433549392015-02-23T21:22:13.006-05:002015-02-23T21:22:13.006-05:00So true!

We Americans are such a mix and, more likely than not, are more related than we think. Most of my known ancestry, as well as my husband's, is British or Scots-Irish, with a little Germanic Swiss. I was thrilled recently when looking through genealogy on my mother's side to find that an ancestor was here in Buncombe County (Asheville), North Carolina, in the census of 1810. So, I felt I was a 'bona fide' mountain woman though I wasn't raised here, and chose this place of great natural beauty as the one place that felt like my soul's home, at least on this earth. I do long to go back to the UK and soak up the atmosphere that feels part of my blood and bones. By the way, the family that lived here left for Georgia, which led to my mother being a native born Atlantan. Maybe we're related!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021913578112308091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-49778980577302337522015-02-23T18:35:30.687-05:002015-02-23T18:35:30.687-05:00One GrandMother was from Sheffield, England, the o...One GrandMother was from Sheffield, England, the other Sligo Ireland<br /> Australia has the right idea, if they leave to join enemy forces don't<br />let them back in the country I still can't believe the Boston Bombing. <br />There are so many great people who came here only for a better life..La Petite Galleryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09553902574516930172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-45613422718447853492015-02-23T11:54:52.177-05:002015-02-23T11:54:52.177-05:00When I was visiting England back in the 80's, ...When I was visiting England back in the 80's, I took a side trip to Malmesbury, Wiltshire, where my great great grandfather grew up. Apparently he didn't get along with his father, so his mother gave him her savings in 1865 and sent him over to the US. I had to go to another town to see the church records from that time, but sure enough, there he was, along with many of his ancestors. I ended up looking in registries from Malmesbury Abbey that went back to 1590!

I have done quite a lot of my family history and there is some Romany blood on my mother's side - she was very ashamed of it - I love it and know that that is where I get my dark skin and hair from.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.com
