Is he part Indian?
If so approx. what percent?

| Do all of you live on the reservation, if not getting him registered ( while a great thing to do) would have little if any effect on any custody hearing.
The rules differ, I know when my last wife registered, she had to be 1/4 to register. So if her grandmother was FULL, not almost Full, then you may make that connection.
for reasons of ethnic education and background he needs to learn his family history | |

| Is his father and grandmother listed in the tribal records? If his father is listed in the trible council records than he can be listed under his father as a decendent with his father's trible. If not you may have a hard time.

| He would qualify then, but getting it proven and all may be another matter. I would think that you would have to be willing to actually have him reside @ a Cherokee reservation, otherwise it doesn't matter what heritage he has.
What state do you live in? | |
