Below are a few links to Native American Genealogy. I'm not sure how useful they may be. I just came across them while doing some research. I'll add more as I find them. If any of you have links, feel free to add them.

I have gone back to the 600's in my family research. I'm at the point now where I'm starting to gather information on the Cherokee side of my family. I'm finding it much harder then I thought it would be. The main reason is, back in the 1890's and earlier, it was not popular to put on census or other documents that you were a native american. As a result, proof is hard to find. Having DNA done is out of the question...the cost is out of my reach.

I also have traced my family back several generations. I have found out that my great-great-great-great grandfather was an American Indian. I do know that his father was full, but I can not figure of what tribe or where to go from here. And i agree dna is too expensive. Hang in there we will figure this out

Sometimes you can figure out what tribe based on where they lived...Way back then most tribes didn't live in the same area and only intermixed when they were captured during rads on other tribes or settlers....
