Sandy: Don't worry about hanging back. Say what you feel is in your heart and keep moving on. I found your comments quite interesting. As for your Gilliam Bounds not being on the Dawes Rolls, you might want to look at the "rejected" files. I found my ancestors there even though I know they were Choctaw. I obtained the case file numbers and ordered the case files. It was such interesting reading. So, be sure to check the rejected files. Good luck. Lori
