  Eastern TN/NC Cherokee Nation

  by Jason Terrell

  When people think about the Cherokee, they often look to the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma and the Dawes Roll when doing research. Many may not realize that there is a strong Cherokee Community in western North Carolina within the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, a federally recognized tribe with a long history in the area that stretches back well before the forced removal period in the 1830s. Cherokee Family Researcher Jason Terrell will share the story of the Eastern Band and some of the differences between the Cherokees in the East and their cousins in Oklahoma.

  Access will be through GoToWebinar. Instructions and Connectivity Link will be forwarded via email to all registrants upon registration, six days prior and 1 hour prior to the event.

  Writing Your Family History SIG

  Facilitator-Carla Maitland

  Join us for three select workshops in our GoToMeeting platform as we meet together, face-to-face, and discuss, share, and critique each other’s family history writing. Whether we choose journals, blogs, newsletters, books, or some other form of writing, we can all use the input of others. These sessions will be led by a facilitator, who will not directly teach, but who will guide the discussions, ensuring the involvement of everyone.

  Three sessions are currently scheduled, every other month, on the 2nd Wednesday morning at 10:00 a.m. Central time and will last approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours each session.

  THIS WILL BE ONLINE ONLY THROUGH GOTOMEETING. SEATING IS EXTREMELY LIMITED SO, IF INTERESTED, YOU WILL NEED TO REGISTER QUICKLY!

  Bring your pen, pencil or whatever you use to write on your computer-and join the fun!
