Jean: Depends on why you are searching for the information. If your ancestor never made it on the rolls, it just means that - they were indians who never made it to the rolls. I'm told that only about 30% of them did make it. Under those circumstances, I would search the censuses and any other usual source as though there were no NA blood involved. If your goal is to pursue your own enrollment, that is not possible unless you can prove a blood tie to someone listed on the Dawes Rolls for the Five Civilized Tribes. sherry dustyc@microgear.net -----Original Message----- From: Bowjean@aol.com <Bowjean@aol.com> To: CHOCTAW-L@rootsweb.com <CHOCTAW-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Sunday, March 12, 2000 10:18 PM Subject: Re: [CHOCTAW] For Sherry and all >Where do we go to look if ancestor died before Dawes and children were never >listed? >Stuck, >Jean Bowman > > >==== CHOCTAW Mailing List ==== >Please support wonderful & FREE genealogy on the internet.
