Hi Joyce, Have you tried NARA? Go to NAIL (National Archives Information Locator); search "NAIL archival holdings"; check "digital copies only"; search keywords such as "Guion Miller"; click "display results"; check "select discription for viewing"; click "display selected hits"; click "thumbnails of online copies". Download takes quite a while, best to save your research on a disk. I checked briefly and didn't find your "Woods" on the Guion Miller but I didn't go into an exhaustive search. It does take some time so do this only if you have lots of time to spend on it. I find that I get better results if I don't put anything into the additional keyword fields, simply the name of the roll that I want to view. (Please forgive me if I have neglected any steps) I find that it is very difficult to do this research in NARA, it seems like a maze to me and I easily get lost, but what I do find is so valuable to me that I just keep trying anyway. There is much more information available and a good place to start is the "genealogy and family history" that NARA has listed. It (through NAIL) will give you the information that they have in their files, although most of it is not available online, but it does tell you where to look and will give you the record group # and microfilm # that you will need to do your further research. Best of Luck Valerie Karinen researching: NIXON and ELLIOTT in North Carolina late 1700's ---------- From: Joyce Reece Sent: Monday, December 20, 1999 7:15 PM To: NCROOTS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [NCROOTS] Cherokee Is any of the following lists online anywhere? Swetland Roll 1869 Hester Roll 1883 Chruchill Roll 1908 Guion Miller 1909 Does anyone have any suggestions? We are trying to verify that Hassletine Woods was Cherokee. Verbal info says she was but the 1870 Swaine Co. census says she was white. Hasseltine was born abt 1855 as she was 25 at the above mentioned census. Husband was M. (arion?) Woods. Marions mother was Sarah M. Woods. Joyce G. Reece ______________________________
