I need some direction on how to start researching my family who I've been told lived with the Choctaw Nation during the time period of 1850-1880. All their children were born in Indian territory and older family members say that my end of the line name was a meat cutter for the Choctaw's. I would appreciate any help or information thay you may have to offer.
