...and wouldn't you know it, I also have an infinitesimal amount of Cherokee in my family tree. My great-great grandmother Arvila Rogers was born in Oklahoma and was either full or half Cherokee. There's a fair chance that she was related to Will Rogers as well.
Might as well get famous people in there, too. My great-grandfather's sister was married to Buffalo Bill Cody's brother. No lie!
