I have a question, guidence really. Either way here goes. I've been doing my genealogy for some time now. I have finally gotten the name I've been searching for, for years! The story goes, my grandmother remembered always going to the Cherokee Reservation in Okalahoma to see her grandmother. But couldn't remember her name. I now have her name. Don't know what Res. or anything else other than the name and that she was born in Arkansas and moved to Oklahoma between 1900 & 1910. Her name is: Mary Etta Hall Williams. Any guidence would be greatly appreciated!! Sandy

Sandy, I can tell you that you're not looking for a reservation for the Cherokee. There are no reservations in Oklahoma, the Cherokee Nation owns that land and has always done that since having to move there in the 1830's. You are looking for Indian Territory area. Oklahoma became a state in 1907, so I would check the 1900 census which was still territory and the 1910 census that was the State of Ok. You can probably look in the area of NE Ok as that was Indian Territory. Maybe checking www.cherokee.org might give you some information.
