Susannah Emerson (McDaniel) - Help

Under the personal tab is a field for ethnicity.

We don’t know the background of Sookie (Su-Gi) "Granny Hopper" McDaniel

My thought would be to fill in the “ethnicity” field for her and her daughter as “said to be Native American”

It already says "Full blood Cherokee"
Not sure who put it there; likely been there as long as the profile has. I have no reason to change it as I do not know

The request is regarding Susannah, however. I searched years ago. Got nowhere. Just thought someone could weigh in as I have left the supposed Cherokee lines alone for now.

Thank you though.

I'll get back around to her eventually

Well, that was kind of painful.

In hindsight, I feel I was WRONG to agree to the disconnection from this line. I ended up deleting her from my Ancestry tree and deleting my ENTIRE gedcom on Gedmatch but THAT did NOT stop the DNA matches from coming on AncestryDNA and Thrulines, etc.

I ended up reporting the curator for saying she EVISCERATED the line. I UNfriended said curator on Facebook over the incident.

Some day, CODIS and genealogy will walk hand-in-hand.

In the meantime, let THIS comment serve as a reminder.....There may be spurious trees but the "DNA don't lie"...

Alexander McDaniel’s children were all born after 1790. Katy McDaniel’s children were not named McDaniel. James Hicks provided “Granny” with a long list of undocumented children, including a Susannah, but no spouses, no children, and there is no mention of any of these people in any Cherokee records.
