My name is April Neece Lett and i have for a few years tried to find out my family’s heritage. I know we have a lot of Cherokee Indian blood in us. My great great grandmother was Jane Hicks which she was full blooded was married to PVT Ephriam M. Kiser. Their daughter which was Margaret “Peggy” Kiser married Elijah Neece.

Osiyo (hello in Cherokee) April. My name is Justin. First of all, I had happened on this page and noticed that you are trying to receive helpful information on your family Cherokee heritage and as a Cherokee people, we have one of the most beautiful, if not, the most beautiful history, language, culture, traditions, roots, ways of life, religion and practices of anywhere worldwide. Second of all, let me tell you that you start tracing your family Genealogy through documentations like I did about 4 years ago. May I suggest that the best family genealogy site for you and anyone else to trace your family genealogy and document everything is MyHeritage.com ($24/month), but as you do your family genealogy research and study, may I also point out that it is a good idea as you research, to google and research your findings to see if the documented records match up and for Cherokee families like you and I, also with your family genealogy research and study, the other best sites to go to is Oklahoma Historical Society and CherokeeRoots.com to see if your are listed on the Dawes Rolls. My friend, I have done all of these things myself for between 4 and 5 years and I have found so of my family on the Dawes Rolls and I have also found that many of my families have died on the “Trail of Tears “. Between my parents, I am three quarter Cherokee (75%), my father is full blood Cherokee and my mother is half Cherokee.
