Finally figured it out

For those of you who know me well, you know that I kind of stick out like a sore thumb on my mom's side of the family. The majority of my cousin's are brown haired, blue eyed beauties - while I have dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. ( one of my girls even has Blonde hair and blue eyes, while my other two has dark hair and eyes, go figure!)
I learned that it's not because, as my friend Kelly use to say, that "I'm just really full of it and no one has knocked it out of me yet", but because I am 1/16 Cherokee Indian. I just found that out last night! My uncle has known for years, he and his kids and grandkids even are on the roll, but they neglected to let the rest of the family in on our ancestry! I will be calling my family soon to learn, as Paul Harvey puts it "the rest of the story".
