I think several people on the list have access to them. There's also a book by Joseph Goss from 1889 which is entitled "Choctaw Claimants and Their Heirs". A while back someone was looking for a Johnson and I found 7 names in the Goss book under Johnson and 1 under Johnston. I'm not sure if the lists are posted on-line. Dusty would probably know that.
