I have tried tracking down my family history before, but it's so hard separating what is true and what is rumor told so often everyone just thinks it's true ... Maybe I'll try again one day. As far as can be determined, my family on both sides has been in America since around the time of the Revolutionary War, and pretty much in Georgia ever since arriving. There's some combination of English, German, and who really knows what else all mixed together. (According to my grandmother, we are also part Creek and Cherokee. Every white family in the South will quite insistently explain any slightly darker ancestor as some sort of "Cherokee royalty". Amazing how many white Southerners have Cherokee royalty in their families.)
