And this is the problem I am having finding my family. my mother died when I was very young, and almost nothing was known about her family. But I was always told that she was part Choctaw or Cherokee. So i've been researching her family, and most surnames I've researched are listed on the dawes roll, but on the census so far everyone has shown up as white. And to make things harder, it looks like her family stayed in Mississippi instead of going to Oklahoma. So if they were Choctaw or Cherokee they probably didn't get listed on the dawes roll, cause they didn't go to Oklahoma. *Sigh* ----Original Message Follows---- From: shadowbear270@webtv.net (shadowbear270) Reply-To: CHEROKEE-L@rootsweb.com To: CHEROKEE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [Cherokee Circle] Lost Date: Sat, 4 Mar 2006 11:46:20 -0600 I will tell this ==at one time the indian could not own land==so they went in to hiding in plain view ==changing names=and nationalities ==changing the way they dressed==and started talking loud==and to fit in they started not taking baths so much ==started being mean to animals ,kids ,and their wifes==remember the clans could not be controlled by the invaders so the clans were done away with==the clans would not put up with this meanest that goes on even now ## SHADOW BEAR ==== CHEROKEE Mailing List ==== <<>OPEN forum to all Cherokee topics - except Genealogy<>> <>Culture-History-Language-Folk lore and Truths<> Good Manners & Language is required to be on the list ALL the links you will need to sub and unsub or contact listowner below http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/other/Ethnic-Native/CHEROKEE.html ============================== Search the US Census Collection.
