Maybe I have been wrong as well. This is Indian Territory List so I am told and I would be very concerned if a large number of people weren't looking for their ancestry. However, I do not have any Indian ancestry for the time frame of Indian Territory but my family lived here all the same. It is not Indian or Native American list. If it is, please unsubscribe me for this list couldn't help me.

Me thinks maybe you might have gotten the wrong List? Any way Most of us that are working in finding our ancestry are not doing it to prove anything. I myself qualify to be DAR (I am not) I qualify to be In the Cherokee First Families (I am not) and descend from the King of Scotland (like that is going to get me any place). But mostly I am from hard working freedom loving farmers that gave up life family and land to follow their dreams. And even some had their freedom and dreams destroyed by the very ones that came here to gain that freedom. And I am proud to be who I am and the Heritage I can claim. I wish to live a life that my ancestors will be as proud of me as I am of them. Saying all that I am still Looking for my Harmon's and Wicked or Wicket's. Jim Harmon born abt 1824 married Margaret or Peggy Wicket born abt 1827 , they lived in the Sallisaw and Brent IT, raised children, John, Milley, Sarah, Jim JR, Jesse, Mary, Charles, Lisa, and Peggy. I think Peggy m: a Cowand. and Jesse m: Mary Holms, And Sarah m; Isaac Ussery. Wado Charlene
