I was told that on the nara.NAILS site you can order a set of paperwork for anyone on the Dawes Rolls. The cost is twenty dollars and im told you do get a very hefty and valuable amount of information. Am told it is very worth every penny! Mvto, Ken

My Grandmother was born in Okla Indian Territory March 10, 1901. I have her birth records. I think to get a SS number you have to have proof of birth, even if its just from a family Bible. The papers say on the top: Department of the Interior Commision of the Five Civilized Tribes Affidavit of Mother. then it lists my GGrandmother and GGrandfather as her parents and where she was born. I believe you have to have this to be enrolled in the the tribe. If you send for the packet of this person if they are enrolled and listed on the Dawes rolls this info will be in the packet. Mine is in the Choctaw rolls. I hope I have been of some help to someone on the list. This info was sent to me by someone who was researching my family name so I can't tell you how it was recieved. On the papers it also has a affidavit of attending Physician or Midwife and also gives the District that the birth took place. It is called a birth Affidavit instead of a birth certificate.
