My grandparents asked me to find an attorney who can help them obtain Israel Citizenship and Cherokee Nation Citizenship. I understand these goals might not be possible but wanted to check w/ an attorney.

To be respectful to your schedules, here's part of my genealogy:

1. ISRAEL Citizenship - My 2nd-great-grandmother Catherine Yieda (and her ancestors) were Jewish. Her parents immigrated to Missouri from Germany in 1840's/1850's. (see attached pedigrees)

2. CHEROKEE NATION Citizenship - My 2nd-great-grandfather and his second wife lived for decades on the Cherokee Nation. They were issued a Cherokee Nation marriage certificate. I think this makes them legally Cherokee Nation citizens.
