Who Told That Story?Truth Or Family Lore.
I was always told we were Cherokee .Moma I think looked it.High cheek bones and black hair.Dark Skin.I have seen Ray on the rolls but never a Burrell?Shawnee I have reason to believe a Burrell could possible be.Research shows they were in Tennessee after or shortly after trail of tears .I'm still reading book.Let you know what I find out.I won't say that I visited Cherokee a lot when my children were coming up such amazing spirit.Even if these claims were wrong I think I learned a lot by the myth.

May I ask, how do you go about finding these "rolls"? I'm trying to find out if my great-great grandmother or her daughter were on any of them. I have always been told that they were Cherokee, but chose to stay in North Carolina rather than going on The Trail of Tears. Thanks in advance.
