You need the Census Card #/Field Card # and that will get you the information for all of the people on that card. It may be one person or an entire family. The cost is $10 and then some extra per page if over 20 pages. It will contain a transcript of the interview, plus birth/marriage "certificates". My packets for about five familes was over an inch thick. You'll most probably learn many valuable things, but some interesting items, e.g. I learned that gr-gr-grandmother Catharine KING only spoke Shawnee so she signed her name with an "X". Remember that the NAILS Dawes information is very incomplete, so you would want to look at a better index to find people. John C. King www.shawnee.accessgenealogy.com
