Or you can find the index to these rolls on the National Archvies site at http://archives.gov/ In order, click on Research Room->Genealogy->Research Topics->Native American records, and then pick the Final Dawes rolls or Guion-Miller rolls, e.g. to search for your Curtises. These are indexes. The complete files (applications) are not online but are at National Archives on microfilm and they contain a wealth of genealogical info. Other sites may have the microfilm as well. Good luck!
