Speaker: Debra Osborne Spindle
PhD, MLIS
These three rolls, taken 1896-1909, are unique and provide significant genealogical information, but can be confusing for researchers of American Indian records. The 1896 Applications were a “false start” in Indian Territory, the Dawes Final Roll covers the Five Tribes in Indian Territory, and the Guion Miller includes Cherokees worldwide. Not all the rolls are official proof of tribal citizenship but each has family material. Locating and using each of these data sets will be addressed.
