My Heritage

So, I've recently been interested in tracing my roots. I sometimes (not always, mind you) feel like the black sheep of my family. I'm going through school lots later in life, taking the LSAT's and on to Law School, I am super stressed and needed a bit of a pick me up. I wondered if there were any trail blazers in my family that I could look to and get some sense of "hey they did that then, maybe I can do this now". As most people do, I have family lore of Cherokee blood in my veins. I have yet to find it, but, that gives me food for thought: if Elizabeth Warren claimed her Indian heritage with her cousins cookbook as proof, then why don't I just talk one of my cousins in to writing a cookbook? That means, I won't have to look through census records upon records looking for something that might not have been written down! Yeah me! That way, I can just say it since I really believe it anyway and besides, I've had tons of people remark to me about my high cheek bones too! Hey! What if we're related?
