Now that I think about it my father was a hugger but I preferred going on outings with him and hearing him praise me. It is no wonder that we struggled! Perhaps something similar happened between Dovid and his father.

Gary Chapman has written several books on topic. One The Five Love Languages is for couples; there are also volumes that address men, singles, children and teenagers.

On March 15th Gary will be interviewed by Dovid about book The Five Love Languages for Teenagers on a teleclass (class that is given on telephone) sponsored by Coachville.com. (Check their website for more information.)

Dovid also started a group called Awesome Dads at Coachville (www.AwesomeDads.com), because after his experience he realized that most fathers want to connect powerfully on a deep emotional level with their children. His group meets regularly by telephone to discuss various proficiencies of fatherhood.

Are you interested in “Connecting powerfully on a deep emotional level”? If so Gary Chapman’s Five Love Languages may provide you with tools to do just that.

As well, many people claim Cherokee ancestry, but were not actually Cherokee. There were many other nations around Cherokee, and some folks would simply call themselves Cherokee to save a lot of confusion. Thus, a person might have grown up believing they were Cherokee, but their Native American grandfather or great-grandmother would not show up on Cherokee genealogy. This is a strange but very true fact of life for those who know they are descendents of Native Americans, but cannot figure out anything past one name.

However, for those who are Cherokee and know it, and can find proper names for their ancestors, Cherokee genealogy is very complete. There are many books, papers, and websites that are dedicated to showing family trees. If you can trace names properly, you will be able to go back quite a ways into past and find many of your ancestors. For those who can manage it, Cherokee genealogy is a rich mine of information about names and places where your ancestors were born, lived, and died.

If you have time and energy and knowledge that you need, you can trace your ancestry back to men and women living as natives on shores of New World. So give Cherokee genealogy a try figure out that much more about your family.
