I have the same thing. Funny that when I looked for my indian all I found (and it fell in my lap, literally) was where she is buried. We plan to go down there (my niece and I) on our next road trip. I copied this document, but really everything is there. The copier was on the fritz too, so I had to get the copy in parts. (man will I be glad when all the money is raised for the new building and EQUIPMENT!) I will ask in my next Indian Archive day if there is a microfilm index to people who were actually issued permits. I have a feeling your Robert will not be there, however, I think your best bet, is to buy Shirley's book and see what he has documented, basically he has researched your family for you, or at least goodly parts of it. He is good with backing up his work with sources. Nalora
