Is the overview for someone other than the person whose profile it's on?

There is no information that this Ooloosta ever existed. The narrative attached is a mish-mash of erroneous information. Where is there any record of a Creek woman from 1704 who was half-Shawnee but with a fake Cherokee name and a Cherokee clan? There are almost no records of any individual Cherokee this far back. There would be no record of the ancestry of a person adopted as a Cherokee at this time. And “she” had a wife? The name of Attakullkulla’s wife is unknown. The Ridge was not his grandson. No children of Willenawah are identified in any record. This is all just garbled Internet junk.

I added “fictional” to her suffix for clarity, and no one should have a relationship to anyone in this tree, which is deliberately marked “fictional.”

We keep it on geni so it isn’t re introduced; or if it is by someone naive, that duplicate is more easily spotted and dealt with.

Glad it came up.

Thank you. Someone has added part of my husband's family (down to his maternal grandfather) and taken it back to this. We need records, not fiction. I've asked relatives on our branch and they don't know who the person is, but they have photos of our close relatives.

Anyone who finds a tree claiming Cherokee ancestry before the Revolutionary War (and really before 1800) should be very suspicious. There are almost no records which even mention Cherokee families from this time, and those that do are most often just the mention of a man as someone’s son or nephew (which could just mean they were in the same clan and of a younger generation). There are a few mixed families where the white father and his children are known, but seldom a wife’s name.

Attakullakulla was one of the seven men who went to England with Cuming. He was a very young man at the time of the trip and was known as “Okoonaka”.
