My name is Vanessa Tigert Birrell. My grandmother was an original enrollee, Nettie Marea CHANDLER Tigert, born in 1906. She was one of nine children, born to James Chandler and Nettie Marea WEST Chandler, who was a full-blood Choctaw. They settled around Francis, Oklahoma. James Chandler started a mill, and donated land for a church and a cemetery near Francis. -----Original Message----- From: Jacque Hopkins Wolski [mailto:hopkinsj@ida.net] Sent: Saturday, January 22, 2000 2:30 PM To: CHOCTAW-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [CHOCTAW] Welcome & Roll Call Hello everyone, Boy, we sure have a lot of subscribers to this list, over 170, more than I thought there would be, but would like to say I think it is great. Now if we all could just find our ancestors, that would be even greater. Anyway, since we have a lot of new subscribers, I am suggesting that we have a Roll Call. For those of you that are new to mailing lists, it means to post/send a message to the list of who or what you are looking for pertaining to your Choctaw ancestors who came to Oklahoma. Please include as much information as you possibly can/have such as dates and places. The more information you put in the message, the more someone may be able to help you.
