hey i was hoping some one could help me. i have been during some research on my family and i found my great grandmother's name to be very interesting. so far i can't find it anyway. the name "Olar" only appears as a last name of scandanvey origins. this is interests becuase my great grandmother was a cheerokee. i have checked with the nation as well and no one has a clue there

Okay i think there have been confusion, which is my fault. Sorry. Olar was my great grandmother's first name, not her last. I only put the part about finding it as a last name because I only found it used that way.
