I finally found pictures of my great-grandfather!

14. Thank you! :-)

Oh, my gosh, how AMAZING you've found a picture of your Cherokee great-great-great grandfather! Would you mind posting it so we can see it too? What an exciting find! (Two of my granddaughters are half Lakota, and they would love to see pictures of some of their long-ago Native American ancestors. I would love to see the pictures too.)

Yes, it's a great feeling to see a real picture of a long-ago ancestor. I'd always pictured my great-grandfather to have resembled my dad, but he didn't at all. My great-grandfather didn't look like his own son, my dad's father, either, and my dad didn't resemble his father. In their pictures, none of them even look related, which I think is kind of unusual in a family.
