Bryan County was formed from Blue county. The Bryan County Heritage Association has a lot of information on the Choctaw Nation. You can find links to the transcription of records that they sell on a page I set up for them on the Bryan County webpage. http://www.rootsweb.com/~okbryan/bcha.html Gene Phillips At 03:11 PM 5/7/02 -0700, you wrote: >Where would I look to find out about these papers?

Thanks, Gene. I'll check out the records and prices. I had it in my silly head that if I helped others [free] with their family searches - like CC'ing counties and such, that I might get some free help in return. But, wow, info is very hard to get in OK when ya don't live there.
