Hi, Back in the 80's and 90's I sent to New Castle for some death record copies. They were not certified and were for genealogy purposes. I received nice photocopies of the originals. A couple years ago I sent for my father's birth record and was disappointed. It arrived as a certified typed copy and had only his name, date of birth, parents and county of birth. I was hoping it would at least have the village where he was born. The information I found on the PA Dept. of Health web site says they only issue certified copies. Does that mean they no longer issue the photocopies of the original? Has anyone sent for a birth or death record copy recently and is so, what are they sending if you indicate it's for genealogy? Thanks for any and all help. Elaine

Thank you, many did not ever intend to go on to OK---just as, many came back---and famiies divided--as to those who went, took the Fed Handouts--and those who were adament they would not.

Thank you. I am glad to hear the truth, finally. I appreciate your time and study into this terrible period of our lives. I'm proud to call you and American. Jim Beardsley Bunker Hill, WV Formally: Trout Creek, NY

Just a note to add to the "Indian Problem", my great grandmother was Cherokee. Now, these folks were supposedly assimilated into white culture many, many years ago. According to anecdotal stories, her grandfather took an, uhh, early out from the Trail of Tears (so much for assimilation) in the southern Illinois area. Years and generations passed when my parents were married in 1936. My mom told me that she got "comments" re marrying a man with Indian background. There would've been no Indian school issue in southern Illinois for sure. Anything more than a fourth grade education for whites was frowned upon as wasting time in "higher education"..!

I can't speak for Ann, but as formyself: My grandmother told me by the time I was 9 who and what we were. I've done genealogy since then--or had already started--loooooong story. I found the fmaily I was told "didn't exist" Brwon, raised, always, as Indian. I had learned enuf, by then, to be of help and assistance, to my own tribes--and to Indian Country nationwide. I'm an activist, ethnohistorian, a voice, I'm told, for those who cannot fight for themselves. I get involved in curriculum, history, do consulting with tribes, have worked for a few trying to put their tribes back together again. I 've done depositions for those battling the Indian Child Welfare Act. Often work with College level, native studies programs---folks doing theses, etc on varying topics concerning Indians, their history, problems, whatever. Indian schools are a huge blot on society-- anyone's. They kept records of who was there, who was not--many survived----it helps, ultimately--for one's personal genenalogy, or in putting together what happened to families, tribes. My personal library covers one wall. My paper, article, theses, ref file--take up 17 file drawers. and, I will never know enuf, fast enuf. or live long enuf. Sheila/Firehair (and for the personal post asking---no offense---it's fine to ask---I was named traditionally, by a name giver, 20 years ago, am a legal aka as I am equally known by either name--have to sign anything like documents, etc---in both names)

Once they arrive where they were going, they were stripped of their clothing, given govt/school issue, clothing, then they were forcibly shorn of their hair, forbidden to speak their own langauge. this is all documentable-- Interjecting here; to western, SW Indians, the tradition is, the longer the hair, the closer to the earth and a full circle, with our Creator/Maker, ones' soul and spirit-- are. It is an outward sign of an inward connection / dedication, to the Spiritual Path, and a totality with God/Creator. It only gets cut--nicely, as a sign of mourning--kept short one year----or, if one acts in a bad, shameful, way, and will not accept counsel--then, it is hacked off---no neat and pretty about it, by the family and tribe. Can you imagine what these young children felt, when, without explanation they had their hair CUT OFF? Under the Indian Freedom of Religion Act, (IFRA 1976) it is now illegal to force a traditonal Indian to cut his/her hair. (growing it out to look cute at a pow wow, attract girls, doesn't count) My sons are 21---they have not cut their hair since they were 11--- Add in, strangers,non family, non tribal members do not touch our hair--it is a sign of close intimacy--- As to the cutting, etc-- eastern Woodlands by and large, do not have this tradtion---many of us honor it. The children were not allowed to go home except for rare holdiays, and, if you saw the original newsletters, articles you should/would be appalled at the commentary, overt/ subliminal . as early as William and Mary, Thomas Jefferson, and as late as the 1950s and early 60s---govt education of Indian children was not working. did you know that sterilzation of Idnian women ws still gong on in this country the 1980s??? Some of the schools perfomrmed such operations on unknowing girls--under the guise of helping with their menses. Because these children were considered sub human, but, teachable, good for servitutde, if taken young---a great deal of abuse occurred---the law suits abound--due to the sexual abuse, murder, and inhumane treatment. You can find all that in the Congressional Archives, national Archives, on line, and in buried Masters and Phd theses--- so forth. As to hard liquor. Ind ians did not have alcohol, or fermentation, per se. for the 40 thousand years we were here, on this plantet, this continent. that was introduced by the Europeans. Became, still is, a huge problem. Many treaties were signed, land stolen, trade goods taken---fur trade comes to mind in an instant---beginning in the 1600s, after the Indians were drunk I'll not get into that can of worms. It was AFTER the govt's removal/ reservation system came into play it became illegal in many places to sell alcohol to Indians. Guess it no longer suited a purpose. Unless one was a treaty or reservation Indian, we were not even considered citizens of the US--had no voting rights, no constitutional rights, ad infiniitum. Emancipation freed Blacks, it did NOT free Indians. June 1924 saw all Indians made citizens, altho it was not until 1948 and 1952 the last couple states were forced to capiitualte. Is it any wonder, to be designated white, black, Hispanic (out west)---- colored, whatever---was accepted without comment? 60 percent of the US Indains are me. Non reservation, no rolls---those came about with the removal and rez pogram----, who passed, went on, did o.k. most of the time---now live with, no records, "you can't prove it"-- and families split, over color, who is and who isn't Indian? and this is the tip of the iceberg. What is in the original records,papers, etc has no resemblance to what is taught in school, or put out by the US govt. And, it continues. check me out--I speak the truth. and, it sure makes a mess of genealogy.

My cousin, Kathy's, dad went to Carlisle,his mother died when he was 11---his father removed him, within a year--he went to family in Rockland Co., NY taking our children from their environment was only the beginning.

I spoke with an indian young lady in Oklahoma City in the 1960's who spoke of her brothers and other children on the reservation being taken away to schools and only alowed to come home at Christmas and summer vacation.

As I said, I don't even know that it was for Indian children. I've only heard that there is, or was until recently, a special school of some sort in Delaware County. I don't remember who told me, but I understood that it was a contemporary institution. As I also suggested, the Delaware County list would be an appropriate place to ask questions. ----- Original Message ----- From: <gagenlady@charter.net> To: <PAWAYNE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 28, 2004 8:25 PM Subject: Re: Re: [PAWAYNE] I got this--- it's a new one on me > I would be interested in the time period that the school(s) for native american children existed and how you came to understand they were open. > > Nona Thornton > > > > From: "Ann O'Hara" <yannster@ptd.net> > > Date: 2004/07/28 Wed PM 09:33:46 GMT > > To: PAWAYNE-L@rootsweb.com > > Subject: Re: [PAWAYNE] I got this--- it's a new one on me > > > > Sheila, > > > > I'm not sure, but I have heard about some kind of special school in Delaware > > County.

Was someone on the list researching ARTHURs? I found the following the other day: Honesdale Citizen, 3 May 1883: Pleasant Mount. A child of Mr. and Mrs. Charles ARTHUR, about six months old, was buried on Saturday last.
