About Us All Things Cherokee was created by Christina Berry in March, 1998 under the name "The Cherokee Genealogy Page." Since then the site has gone through numerous changes and grown substantially, but still operates with the original intention of providing helpful and interesting information on Cherokee history, culture, and genealogy.  Christina Berry - Owner/Operator I am a tribal citizen of the Cherokee Nation, a member of the Cherokee Artists Association, and a charter member of the First Families of the Cherokee Nation. I was born in Oklahoma, but moved with my family to Texas when I was very young. Always a history buff, I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a BA in history. I am a mixed-blood with ancestors from all over Europe and the US -- descended from Old Hop (Kana Gatoga) on one side and Robert the Bruce on the other. When I'm not working on All Things Cherokee, I keep busy with photography. Contributing Writers Carla Toney Carla Toney was born in Los Angeles in 1946.
