Jeffrys — These folks would NOT be on the Dawes roll. If your ancestor was not living in Indian Territory during they will not be listed on the Dawes Roll.
I am looking for more information on LouisA White. I have been trying to locate more information about my great grandparent and prior relatives. My mom who passed away suddenly a couple years ago had most of the information in her head and some notes jotted down here and there.
I do have the marriage certificate for my great grandparent in the early s on the reservation but I believe it was the choctaw reservation. Trying to trace them all has been challenging.
Can anyone provide some help. There is nothing to suggest any were Tribal citizens. I can provide you with names, dates, and locations if you are interested, Just give me an email to send it. My ancestors surnames are all over the rolls but most of my family is deceased and I have no way of finding out first names.
The surnames are Green, Buchanan, Brown, and Welch…. This means alot to me. Thank you. Some of my ancesters brothers and sisters are on the dawes rolls but my ancesters are not. The US government just picked and chose who they listed as white or native on the census based on skin color and how well the natives adopted Caucasian culture.
What you are saying is not remotely true. The Dawes commission spent over 15 years compiling a census of Tribal citizens in Indian Territory.
The criteria to be listed on the Dawes rolls was that one had to be a Tribal citizen who had been living in Indian Territory during the required period. There is even a small number of white people on the Dawes rolls, and they are listed as such, as well as the Freedmen.
The purpose of Dawes and Curtis acts were to break up the Tribal communal land into privately owned allotments among the Tribal citizens, so that they could then make Indian and Oklahoma Territory a state.
It was hugely unpopular among the Tribal citizens, but was mandatory. If a citizen refused to participate, they were assigned an allotment anyway. There is a ton of information on this subject in numerous books or even on the internet. I am trying to find information for the following ancestor: Isaac Nidiffer. Father: Samual Nidiffer. Thank you, Gary McDonald garymc49 me.
Gary, What specific information are you looking for? I will send you an email. Any help is much appreciated. It would seem your Grand Uncle told you a fib. To be on the original Dawes roll, one would have to be a citizen of one of the 5 Civilized Tribes and born before His father was from Tennessee. He lived in South Carolina. He was half Cherokee. I have found a Jim Jones on the roles,who is listed as Cherokee, but when I click on it I get no information.
Is it me, or is the site not working? If your ancestor lived in South Carolina, he would not be on the Dawes rolls. There is an Eastern band of Cherokee made up from descendants of some of the Cherokee who were not removed to Indian Territory.
Looking for Benjamin Nash or Anna Goins. I am a direct descendant. I Have done research on Dawes rolls and with name changes keep getting near misses.
Have seen some of the children on rolls but. Any help appreciated. Circlem hotmail. Neither ever lived in Indian Territory and were not tribal citizens. None of their children are on the Dawes rolls. Payne Oklahoma-Chickasha Oklahoma- Anadarko Oklahoma are all in a straight line, except Payne has a little jag off of highway 44 here in Oklahoma.
Hi my name is Cassandra Crutcher my grandfather name was Jefferson Davis he was born April 14th he was killed March 1 , his father name was Robert L Davis trying to find out any information please. I am related to Alexander Love on the Dawes Roll. What is my next step in trying to apply for my card? Thank you in advanced for the answers.
If the chain is broken at any time, you will never be able to get a card. The information from Jesse Lambert is not accurate. You will have to provide lineage to the last ancestor who was a citizen. My Grandfather was and I linked back to him. There are various census conducted in Tribal Towns, but frequently, only the head of household is listed by name with a household total. Something to be aware, Ancestry.
A lot of people have bad information in their trees and this bad information gets spread around to others. It helps tremendously if you have Native ancestors who were well known as there is a greater chance that family information could have been documented somewhere. I am one of the luckier ones in this regard, as much of my family have been well known for a couple of hundred years.
Even still, I still have plenty of dead ends and misinformation abounds. The Durant family would be someone to look at in your case. Like any family tree, you start with those you know and work backward and verify as much as you can. There are major limits for Native genealogy, however. Good luck! Choctaw living in Mississippi born abt , he was my 6th Great Grandfather. She was my 5th Great Grandmother They had 8 children. She was my 4th Great Grandmother.
Where do I go? It depends on whether any of your ancestors since Alexander Love were Cherokee citizens. You will need, at least, your birth certificate and a government ID. You will likely also need a social security card, and death certificates of your parent and grandparents leading back to the last ancestor who was a citizen. Call the Cherokee Citizenship office and they will tell you exactly what you need to do.
What is the basis for what you are posting? I have family members that were not allowed tribal membership because their parents did not apply for their membership. Would you be kind enough to post where this is written so I can help other family members.
From Cherokee. I guarantee you this is accurate. I am Mvskoke Creek. I have nephews who are Tribal citizens despite the fact that their Mother my sister never registered as a citizen. They had to provide birth certificates for themselves and my sister linking her to my Mother, who is a Tribal citizen and whose Father was on the Dawes roll.
Contact the citizenship office and they will tell you exactly what you need. Could be my great grandmother born I have a 3rd great Grandmother named Monatubbee Magee born in She had a daughter named Ellen Magee, born in Indian Territory. I have the rest of the family on her side. Again, this is misinformation that is constantly being regurgitated on Ancestry. My ancestors are on the Freedman roll and this is what I had to do.
After waiting 4. Who ever your ancestor Alexander Love is whether it is on your mothers side or your fathers side. You need to verify how you are related to him. So if you think or know that this is the roll he was on. You need birth certificates if someone is alive and death certificates if someone is dead.
But some times it might impossible to find a birth certificate of someone who was not born in a hospital. Because in the old days some people was born at home with a educated elderly lady who was gifted by God. I had to do this: I took my birth certificate and probably a copy of my drivers license and social security card, took my mother birth certificate because she is still alive and her mothers which is my grandmas death certificate because she is dead and my grandmas mothers death certificate because she is dead and my great grandmas mother who would be grandma 3 to me her death certificate because she is dead but is the one with the roll number and copy a citizenship application off of the Cherokee.
I will be glad to help you more if I can, I will leave my email address below. Take Care! She moved to Oklahoma in the s and was not a tribal citizen.

ORG website with a copy of your drivers license and social security card and mail it to Tahlequah, OK. My uncle lives in Wichita Kansas and since he is not in Oklahoma, he had to drive to Tahlequah and pick up his card in person about five months ago.
Can you please help me? This is a more accurate update from my previous post. Alexander Love roll census card This is update from my last post around last week.
Also I cant view the card to proceed. I did in the Choctaw headquarters in Durant at the office that handled membership. I was there to update my info and get the new card. This was about 90 days ago. I live and have been in Oklahoma all of my life. You are a perfect example of black discouragement. If these people keep listening to you all they will get is frustrated and a head ache and give up. Apparently, you got your knickers in a twist over Indian City.
Again, Indian City is not a real place. It was a museum in Anadarko. It is not correct information and people keep sharing this information through their trees on Ancestry and the misinformation has proliferated. That is a fact. It has been discussed ad nauseum in the forums there.
It is you who has no idea what you are talking about. Your inane rantings show what a complete fool you are. Black discouragement?!? What on Earth are you talking about? I am the only person who even attempts to help people on here.
What do I have to do to apply for my native rights?? You need to be a direct descendant to someone on the Dawes rolls. This would have been a Cherokee citizen around the year I suggest you ask your cousin which ancestor is. Once you know that, contact the Cherokee Citizenship office on what you will need specifically to gain citizenship.
They were not allowed membership. Show me where you received your information please. You have been told misinformation. Hi my Uncle W.

Hello, When I was a young boy my great grandmother always use to tell me that we were Indian and to never forget it. As a kid, I would say Yes Granny. Her maiden name was Dora Johnson. Which would have been around I know who I am now! Do You? Choctaw Nation was never in Georgia. It was in Mississippi and Alabama until they were removed to Indian Territory in the mid s.
My great grand parents were Cheerokee. They were first cousins. I was told my dad was half Cherokee and that my grandfather was full-blooded Cherokee. If you have any information you could help me I really would appreciate it thank you. Type DawesRoll, than enter ancestors names.
If they are on the Dawes Roll it shows up. Just did the process on one of my ancestors. I know was Mary was full blooded Indian. My father denounced being Indian for he wanted to go into the military and he told me that he felt he would be discriminated if someone found out his heritage.
I am having a heck of a time trying to find lineage of my family. Your family lore is almost certainly apocryphal; it usually is. The Dawes rolls were not optional. Besides, by your own account, these people were over half Native. Before the Dawes and Curtis acts, the land in I. The purpose of these acts was to break up tribal lands into individual allotments for the citizens, sell the surplus, and make Oklahoma a state. The tribes were almost universally against this; strongly.
They had no choice and to refuse an allotment would have rendered them homeless. Now, it is possible to have native ancestry and not be eligible to be on the rolls.
The rolls were of Tribal citizens only. On many occasions, natives would leave their tribe and assimilate into U. Dates and places would be helpful searching for information on your family. I did a search with the information provided and came up with nothing. My great-great father was fullblood Cherokee. Mary Elizabeth Wharf was his daughter and my great grandmother. Mattie Morgan Wright was her daughter. Does anyone have a clue about my lost heritage?
If he was found along a river as a child, how could anyone possibly know he was full blood Cherokee? All records and photos I found clearly indicate Creed Warf was white. Your family lore is likely not true. Looking for any information for Barbary Starcher and Betty E. Runion since they both have claims of ties to Cherokee. Any help given on this is appreciated.

And of course Henry Green was my 4th great grandfather. All I can help you with is the green line I came from were from the fruitland area of Henderson county.
I use six websites that show page whole books and lists of freedmen, minors, full blood and slave owners names. A white man or family. One site I use is all blacks only. Sometimes I search church records.
But most of them are wrong and done in doubles with different birthdays and husband, wife and children and mother and fathers. And census are only open to the public if the are at least 72 years old. I have a good one, for any one as passionate about getting to the truth as me. The Canadian version of Indian Affairs relies on them for verification when necessary. I discovered my grandmother was Metis, Apache and Cherokee. For the record, she does not have one single match, which is very odd. If I understood correctly, my grandmother would be the Metis.
Her mother would be the Cherokee, and her mother would be the Apache. But after researching that name for years, I have discovered this is not a valid name. Perhaps in error, I am now assuming that I have to find a phonetic similarity, in order to find my family.
The name she went by in Canada was Maucotel… so Mokotel… mokotai….. But if anyone can help me with this, or if anyone has any suggestions to the form of the name I might look for, I would so very much appreciate it. I am trying to follow my grandfathers, my heritage.
