The original applications for the Dawes (for the Five Tribes) are online at Footnote and almost 100% complete. Index and link to them is at accessgenealogy.com. There is another Dawes Roll (for the Five Tribes)....1896....there is an index to it on accessgenealogy.com. You can get the 1896 Dawes applications ONLY at Ft. Worth NARA. The enrollments do not appear to be at footnote, yet. I retrieve many of those for people at Salt Lake City and some are online at my site because I have collected them in the course of my work. The enrollment consists of a card, showing the enrolled persons and the names of their parents. You can see a "sketch" of those enrollments on accessgenealogy when you use the index and click on the Card Number. This is complicated. If you are trying to understand it, let's keep with it until we all understand.

Worth , has the originals of the Dawes records... they are western records of western events. I suggested any regional archives, since if you go there... they know where records are and will help you get the information from the right place. Richard B.
