September 2010 Newsletter
Welcome to All Things Cherokee!
Hello all, it's an exciting time at All Things Cherokee. I've finally had an opportunity to launch the Travel Center. The page features sites of historical and/or cultural significance to the Cherokee. Each page features photos, historical information, access details, directions, a map, GPS coordinates, and even links to bed & breakfasts in the surrounding area. I have 40 sites up as a start, but I plan to add many more (I've made a list). I'll also be adding events to the page soon. I'm pretty excited about it, and I hope you'll find it interesting.
And speaking of Cherokee Travel, Labor Day weekend is Cherokee National Holiday in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. I'll be there taking photos to post in the Travel Center as well as neat candid shots to go on the Facebook page. Be sure to "like" us on Facebook so you can see what sort of images I was able to capture.
Have a great September and please remember to visit All Things Cherokee this month.

Featured Genealogy FAQ
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.
