Featured Genealogy FAQ
We receive quite a few genealogy questions each month. While it's difficult to answer each one individually, we've provide answers to the most commonly asked questions here:
Question: I know I'm Cherokee, but how do I prove it?
Answer: Because there are so few records, it is unfortunately a difficult task to prove Cherokee heritage. Still, there are some resources available for proving a connection to the Cherokee people. Learn more about the rolls, and other Cherokee genealogy resources.
Question: How do I join the Cherokee tribe?
Answer: Actually there are three federally recognized Cherokee tribes, and each tribe sets its own membership qualifications. Learn more about enrollment in each.
Question: Can I get my blood tested to prove that I am a Cherokee?
Answer: Despite some limitations, DNA testing is one of the hottest new things in genealogy. Learn more about how science can link you to your ancestors.
