In answer to the question concerning info on the Dawes census. [input] [input] [input] [input] After I looked up census card numbers and rolls numbers on the NARA site, I wrote to the Oklahoma Historical Society and requested a copy of the Dawes census card and the application packet. It was a wealth of information. The application packet had the actual testimony with questions and answers. The final cost depends on how many pages. One of mine was $12 and the other $15. I found this small sum to be worth the price though and am considering getting some more. I've also been able to go to the Federal Archives in DC and make my own copies, which they allow you to do after signing in and paying the copying fee. Of course at the Archives, you have to know what you're looking for as you have to do the research on the microfilm yourself. CJ --------------------------------- Stay in the know.
