Volume one covers those Cherokee living East of the | Mississippi River, Volume 2 covers Cherokee who were living West of the | Mississippi River. These same rolls are still used today in determining | tribal... | | the Cherokee Freedmen Enrollment Cards of the Dawes Commission | 1901-1906 | by Jo Ann Curls Page (Paperback - January 1995) | | | I find Jo Ann's book to be a real asset to comparing the Freedmen Roll | numbers and her book also gives the names of the parents, and the Freedmen | Minors, as well as the Rejected Freedmen. | | After you have found your family member and compare to the books above, to | make sure there is no mistake in the roll numbers, you may then want to do | the following. | GUION MILLER ROLL http://www.rootsweb.com/~cherokee/miller.html | | | Thank you, Bright Star | | For the record: | I am in no way affiliated with or do I know personnally the writers of the | books, I have suggested you buy. I am merely telling you as a Freedmen | researcher, the best way and cheapest way for you to verify your family | Freedmen geneology. | I would appreciate it if you do find any mistakes, that you contact me, so I | can make corrections to the file I have. | | Mary Jane Carroll/ | Bright Star |
