I don't know if we are related. My maiden name was Shaw. My family migrated to Missouri (Montgomery County) and I am trying to research where my family originated. My aunt did genealogy (and it's all been lost) and I am starting over. I remember her telling me when I was little that some of our ancestors came over on the Mayflower. She also said that some of our relatives are members of The Daughters of the Revolution. I do not know their names (my aunt passed away in 1982). I also am trying to find my Cherokee (Shaw) relatives and this part of the family is very hard to research. I would really enjoy hearing from you , any SHAW info will be greatly appreciated. My email address is mtamboutdoors@yahoo.com and my street address is :2210 Four Oaks Grange Rd. #2, Eugene, OR 97405.
