Cherokee Indian

Yeah, you guys try contacting the cherokee.org! I emailed over a month ago and still haven't received a response. Its so frustrating!!! Crysti

The agency is Edna Gladney. They said they didn't know what tribe. I have no idea if my birth grandfather has a card. Would that be enough for Edna Gladney to open my records? I have no clue what my birthmother's dad's name was, or hers. Any ideas as to what to do. How much Indian do I have in me to be qualified.

Hi again! It was my BGrandmother that was Cherokee, her name was Johnnie / Johnnye Mildred Murphy (married: Atkins). Her DOB is: January 14, 1916 and she was born in Kemp TX. I hope that does it, I'm crossing my fingers!! Thank you. :) Crysti

Wow, ok. I didn't know that. I've been fighting an uphill battle with my adoption agency to get my records opened. Now if I can petition the courts with the ICWA, I might be able to get my info...ok. According to my non-id info, both my my parents were part Cherokee (didn't say how much or if they were recognized tribal members), my adoption was 1 year before the ICWA was passed.
