I am searching for information on a John Hooper (b. Jan 1860 TN) and his wife Martha E. Aldridge (b. May 1860 AR). I've been told by my family that they are suppose to be full blooded Indians. However, I have a picture of them and he doesn't appear to be Indian, but she does (not sure if full though). In my search I have found a John Hooper who was listed on the roll as being Choctaw but was denied. I haven't made it to Oklahoma City, OK to the History Center yet to look at any paperwork. My questions are: 1. How does one know by looking at a photo if a person is Indian? 2. What information will be given on the application that I will be able to know if in fact this is my family? 3. Why would they be denied? 4. Is there anyone else related to this line? Thanks, Paula
