Mary, The removal was done in groups or parties. Some of these included thousands of people, some only a few. The government hired contractors to supply transportation, provisions, etc., to these groups. Quite often there was a great deal of fraud involved and thousands died on the trail from hunger and sickness. I do not think there is a master census because the removal took place over a number of years. A roll was prepared for each party, though, so if you can figure out what year they were moved it becomes pretty easy to track them down. A census (far from complete) was done of the Creek Nation during the 1830s and a census was done of the Apalachicola Bands of Seminoles before they were removed in 1838. If you know your relatives wound up in Oklahoma, another good place to check is the Dawes Roll. This was a list prepared of all the Native American land holders in what is now Oklahoma. It is the basis used today for membership in the Seminole, Muskogee (Creek), etc., Nations of Oklahoma.

Dale, Thank you ever so much. Now that I have the background, I know how to proceed. I definitely have a great deal of reading to do! I found several other books, one by a Lennon, which I have put on the"Must read before August 13" list. I sincerely appreciate your help.
