To answer your questions, to find out if one of the Lucy Harris' is your grandmother- first you must research your own ancestor to firmly establish where your grandmother was living in 1906/09 (find her on the 1910 U.S. census) and what her age and name would have been at that time (example- was she married?). I looked into the records, and in 1909 both of these Lucy Harris were living in northeastern Oklahoma, so if your Lucy was living elsewhere- then there is little doubt that neither of these two were "yours". You can read the instructions to start tracing your grandmother at http://www.rootsweb.com/~cherokee/page_1.htm. Since we work backward in time (1920, 1910, 1900, etc), you will need to establish your family's location in 1830 & 1840 before the 1835 roll will do you much good. Good luck Jerri
