The only people who are included in the final Dawes Rolls are people who meet ALL of these conditions: 1) They were members of one of the Five Civilized Tribes (Choctaw, Chickasaw, Cherokee, Creek, Seminole), the spouse of a member, or the descendant of a slave who belonged to a member of one of the Five Tribes. AND 2) They lived in Indian Territory (now part of Oklahoma) during enrollment. Exception: There are Mississippi Choctaws in the index. AND 3) They were alive in 1902. Exception: Some infants and children were enrolled up until 1906. If you have an ancestor that you think probably meets all these conditions, give me the names, and about how old they were in 1902, and I'll be happy to check and see if they appear in the index. Women enrolled using their husbands' last names. Beverly missbev@theshop.net
