Ron, The G. S. McBee did not necessarily have to live in OK to file, although that certainly was a requirement for tribal membership. There were numerous McBee´s in the SW corner of MO who I believe migrated from NE TN. My gggmother tried to enroll several of her daughters in Neosho, MO who married McBee. It is well worth the price to order and get access to all the McBee family info that would be included in the file.
