NO! You are NOT Cherokee! History of the biggest myth in genealogy

No! You are NOT Cherokee! Your Great-Great Grandma was NOT full-blooded Cherokee, nor was she a Cherokee Princess! I know that I am going to make a ton of people mad here and before the end of this story there are many of you that will think I’m completely crazy, but I don’t care, I’m going to tell it like it is. As much as you may WANT it to be true or even fantasize that it is true, the facts are, millions of us have believed in a fallacy our whole lives. This video expains all of this. Also, let me be perfectly clear for those that love to drop descriptive titles on people, I one hundred percent respect the first peoples of this continent. I respect their culture and traditions. This video is not anti-Cherokee, or anti-Native, it is intended to shed some light on one of the most common myths in genealogy. No matter who your ancestors are, you should honor and celebrate them. If I had a nickel… If I had a nickel for every time as a genealogist, when I’ve asked someone what their ethnic makeup was, they told me various European countries and then inevitably drop the word Cherokee. It’s been a source of amusement for those in my circle, and when we hear this, we look at each other with an understanding inside joke. It’s almost always their great-great-grandmother who is the one who was “Full-Blooded Cherokee”, which is interesting, and I’ve got some reasons why that is that I’ll explain later in this video. I have heard this myth in my own family and I know several of them are going to be furious when they see this video, but the reality is, they need to know that we just don’t have any Cherokee in us. At least not anymore. Why do so many folks think they have Cherokee Blood? Where did this myth come from? Why is it so prevalent in the families in Appalachia? Why is it so prevalent in folks form the South? Why is it prevalent in many black families as well? What other tribes besides Cherokee are thought to be inside so many of us? There are many theories that give us insight to these questions, and in this video, we will explain answers to all of them and provide you with a better understanding of yourself and your ancestors.
