Cathy, I am putting in my 2 cents worth on the OK Gen. Society. As far as census etc. go to OKGEN-D@rootsweb.com and subscribe to this list. It is alot of people willing to help anyone. Someone may do a census lookup for you or tell you where you can access it online. I just returned from a trip to OK and went to the Gen. Society in OK City and was very disapointed in what they had available for OK state itself. They had microfilm of all kinds but the micro-readers were always full and hand cranked not electric. Try the OKGEN list group, just ask for help and see what it gets you. janis in MS Indian-Territory-Roots-D-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > > Subject: > > Indian-Territory-Roots-D Digest Volume 99 : Issue 142 > > Today's Topics: > #1 Johnson Proctor brother of Ezekial [Hdknuck40@aol.com] > #2 Re: Indian-Territory-Roots-D Diges [RagMike@aol.com] > #3 Re: Indian-Territory-Roots-D Diges [Beverly Brown <missbev@theshop.net] > #4 Oklahoma Historical Society ["Cathy in Oregon" <dennis7@surfree] > #5 IT census ["Color Red" <ColORRed@inconnect.co] > #6 Goodwater, Ok [one-horse@webtv.net (Sharon Hunter] > #7 Re: Goodwater, Ok [Susan Danna <susan9@home.com>] > #8 Re: Goodwater, Ok [Sharon Crawford <scburn1@oklahoma.] > #9 Goodwater, Ok [one-horse@webtv.net (Sharon Hunter] > > Administrivia: > To unsubscribe from Indian-Territory-Roots-D, send a message to > > Indian-Territory-Roots-D-request@rootsweb.com > > that contains in the body of the message the command > > unsubscribe > > and no other text.
