Hi Everyone, Anyone who would like to have there FREEDMEN family member honered, please fill out the following form, and it will be submitted to those working on the project. You will have to fill in as many answers as possible, as it will affect the report we send back to you. FROM THE FREEDMEN PROJECT: What we want is to compile a list of Freedmen that would have been on the 1838 Removal. Jerry Clark tells me,he's hoping to match the surnames they used with their owners during the Removal period and possibly from there to their wills. If this could be done then we could compile a list of some Freedmen families on the Removal and hopefully then connect them to their later claims and descendants and include them in the honorariums to those individuals. NOTE: I have supplied many of you with names and family application numbers. In reguards to your Freedmen family member. We are now in the process of compiling names for those ancesters that "you want to be remembered." You must list that family members name and application number as well as how it connects up to your geneology. All surnames are needed for the applicant, you are requesting to be considered for the "honorariums." All personal information will be confidental and submitted to those in Washington who are working on the "honerariums" Each name requires a seperate form. As you can see from Jims words above in blue, we are looking to find all the names of those family members who were involved in the 1838 REMOVAL to Indian Territory. You must show your family members line back to the 1838 removal and were they were located at that time. Many of your family members may not have went to Indian Territory or just didn't give their name. But if you know who they are, and want them included in the HONORARIUMS, we need to show how your line goes back to that FREEDMEN. Your source material must be included. Those who cannot show direct desent will also be notified, to either update the application info or the request form will be disguarded.
