Hello listers, Recently, over the last 60 days, I have been requesting applications that were filed to the New York Bureau of Indian Affairs in 1901 from NARA. I started with a private researcher in the area who is really a nice person to work with. Peggy, my researcher actually went to NARA and "hand wrote in" the application names, numbers, of folks who were claiming to be affiliated with "Brothertown" Indians. The "remnants of New England Tribes" migrated out of New England about 1760s...they went to upstate New York. They became the Brothertown Tribe there, later migrating and moving off their lands to Wisconsin. The applications I have, which detail wonderful genealogy are posted here for your review, in reviewing the names, please keep in mind many of the folks may not have recorded their genealogy in these applications correctly back to 1838, but made an attempt to file the claim with their information as best they could recall. When I first approached my list, I looked for surnames that would have "been" in 1901...perhaps this list will help. To date I have received 3 batches of 10/12 applications I have requested, along with the actual "rejection" report in full from NARA. If anyone would like information from these files, the ones listed below, just email me privately, in the subject line of your email put Brothertown, Application #, etc. and I'll not consider it a spam email. Thanks.
