Cherokee Proud: A Guide for Tracing and Honoring Your Cherokee Ancestors

by Tony Mack McClure

New second edition, partially in full color of Cherokee Proud, 1st ed. which has been one of the best selling Native American books in the nation for over two years. Absolutely the "bible" of Cherokee Indian Genealogy written by a Cherokee who is considered an expert in tracing Cherokee roots. Millions of Americans have family traditions of Cherokee blood, but few know the steps necessary to prove or disprove the old stories. This highly acclaimed and comprehensive new 336 page book contains everything any researcher needs to guide them to documenting ancestry. Includes many little known places to search other than the usual census rolls. If the data in Cherokee Proud , 2nd Ed. doesn't lead one to proof of Cherokee ancestry, nothing can! Also features ribbons of Cherokee culture: history, customs, music, dance and language to acquaint those who have just learned of possible blood connections with the lifestyles of those they seek.

[Charles · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great and entertaining book. This is not a dry history, but a colorful invitation. If you ever had any thought of examining Cherokee ancestry, this book has the keys. It has been called the bible of Cherokee Genealogy and I would not disagree. Not only useful as a geological reference this books also contains summaries of Cherokee history & culture. Useful as a one stop shop or a great jumping off point.
