I agree, Ron, but part of my query concerned how, being mathematically challenged, one arrives at the figure of 3/8ths? I do not care that David Osborne Fisher is more or less Choctaw than his brothers and sisters. I would like to see his enrollment packet mainly because none of his nieces - the ones I've worked with the past 6 years re the LeFlore and associated families - know how much Choctaw his mother, Martha Hays was. It might also give us a clue as to her birthdate as well as her date of death.

One parent is 1/4 and the other is 1/2. 3/8 is in between those two numbers.
