Cherokee Genealogy Workshop

Saturday, March 29 at the Florence Indian Mound Museum

On Saturday, March 29, 2025, the Florence Indian Mound Museum will host a Cherokee Genealogy Seminar. The seminar will be divided into two parts. The first part is a public presentation titled “the Basics of Cherokee Genealogy” from 10:00am to 11:30am. This presentation will examine how Cherokee genealogical research can separate fact from fiction. Participants will learn about getting started, tribal enrollment protocol, and the resources available for documenting a Cherokee ancestor.

               The second part of the seminar is a 30-minute consultation session with a Cherokee genealogist, starting at 12:30.  A consultation is an opportunity to discuss your research with a professional - what you already know, and what you want to know - and hear their advice about the next steps. The sessions are timed and you are required to fill out a Cherokee Genealogy Questionnaire form and a Lineage chart, which will be emailed to each registrant. The consultation costs $25 and registration can be found on the calendar page of the Florence Arts and Museum’s website.
