CHEROKEE AND PROUD

To all Fellow Researchers: I conduct my research activities with an open mind and open heart. If you have any information that you'd like to share, please feel free to contact me at traytoria@wizzywigweb.com. Happy Researching.

I'm Victoria Hunt a descendant of William Green and Mary Poly Trammell. I am of Native American Indian descent. Make sure you check out our Name list (not completed) to see if you have a relative there.

Don't let my blond hair and blue eyes fool you. I am at the very least, 1/8th Cherokee. Probably more like 1/4 or more. I will soon place a picture of my mother here, and you will understand. When I tell people I am Cherokee, they look at me like I have four heads. I then normally grab my Momma and tell them who she is and the whole thing seems clear.

Let me tell you a little about myself. I live in the great mid west near the Gateway. I have two children, Linsey, who is nearing 25, and James, who is 23. Been married to the most wonderful guy in the whole world, for 26 years, ever since the big St. Louis snow storm of 1982. I am a published author of short stories and once wrote a column for a local paper. Presently, you will find me deeply involved with the VSA initiative at Maritz Loyalty Marketing. Maritz has been in the area since the 1800's and is a privately owned, multi-billion dollar company. Please allow me a minute to get a bit mushy here, because this type of job, and the environment in which one works, does not come along every day. Not sure what the mix is that they have uncovered, but I've never worked for a company that I've felt so much at home. I owe a great deal to my programming buddies at work.

Unto our family was born a child. He is the most precious thing in the world to us. We can't even tell you how proud we are to be grandparents! Sean Patrick was born on 11/11/2007 at 8:21 pm. He came into the world at a whopping 8 pounds 13 ounces.

Okay back to the biography... May 2005 I received a BBA in Business Management and and I also hold an Applied Science Degree with a Programming/Analyst major, November of 2007 I became a Certified Black Belt in Six Sigma. So, that's me. Now lets get back to what you really came here for...

I've searched my Native American and other history and have learned a great deal. Below is some of my history.

Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or conceited or proud; love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable; love does not keep records of wrongs; love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth. Love never gives up; and its faith, hope and patience never fail.

My Ancestral Line

I am a descendant of Lewis Green. William Green, Lewis' son, was my Great, Great, Great, Grandfather. Alexander Green, William's Son, was my Great, Great, Grandfather. Eugene W. Green, Alexander's son, was my Great Grandfather, Lee Waldon Green, Eugene's youngest son, was my Grandfather. Beverly Green, Lee Green's only child, is my mother. And finally, I have a daughter Linsey M. Hunt, and son, James Lee Hunt. I am hoping that I can find more information on my ancestors, so if you visit my site and can help me in my search, please contact me at Traytoria. I also have some information regarding other's. Thank you for coming by, and drop by often, as I develop my site. (some of the links are under construction).

To those wanting to search for their Cherokee Ancestry...
I receive on average, 5 email a day asking how to research Cherokee Ancestry. There are a number of things that you can do. First and foremost, go to the oldest relatives in your family if you can and ask them to tell you everything they can remember about places, names, and events from their childhood. Try to focus on locations of previous generations. Then the next thing you should do is begin with one of these relatives and work your way back by first locating census information regarding that relative. You will find that the 1850 census are the oldest ones that will contain names of all those in the household other than the head of household. Those census previous to 1850 will only list heads of household. It then becomes much harder to determine where your relatives are. You need to pay close attention to the numbers of members in the household, the sex of each that is listed, and the township in which they are listed. The number of members coupled with the sex of members in the household will help you determine if the person you are researching is in this household. The township will be important if you then have to search church records in that township. The process of finding your ancestor will be a long one. You will need to contact county courthouses where your relatives may have lived in order to get birth, death, and marriage certificates. If you live near these courthouses, this is great, if you don't you can contact them via postal mail to inquire about how to get the information you need. You will also find that your local library will be helpful. Go to the genealogy section and ask the librarian how you can get microfilm of census and other data on your ancestor.

If you have an ancestor that you believe may be in my line of Green family members, please do not hesitate to contact me. Please provide me with as much information as you can. Dates, places, names, etc. I will try to make the connection. Our data base of individuals is now 4000 total.
