Hi, Yes I had to prove my ancestry. I had to show proof that I was directly related to someone on the Dawes Rolls. This person was my maternal grandmother who was an original enrollee. She was born in 1900 in Vian, IT.

Same here for relationship and when you have BrickWalls with DeadEnds ... it's awful hard to prove hearsay. I know that listed in and on both sides of my family are Indians. Cherokee and Choctaw. But and it's a rather big BUTT, the Cherokee is listed as such: Katie [Cherokee Indian from Mississippi] Then, I get this one as a listing, Unknown first name' for father of HARVESTON / HARBERSON / HARBISON, 1/2 Choctaw Indian and 1/2 Swedish ... I didn't even know there were Swedes in the South during the late 1700's and early 1800's ... did you guys know that? Surprised me!! :o) Shelia Meandering in Minnesota Meadows [email protected]
