Question:

Native american on dawes roll?

Hi,
I recently took a DNA test proving native american ancestors.
Not suprising since my mom and grandmother were from oklahoma.
From geneology they came from Tennessee and Mississippi
area.
I am looking for names on dawes that match
my ancestors.
Well I have searched the dawes for ancestors,
all I come up with this the names and no birth dates
or place of birth.
I see the same names as my great grandfather and
great great grandmother.
The problem is how do I know if these are the same names.

Does anyone have experience matching geneology records
and dawes roll names?

Thanks for any help!!


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Try the U.S. Census records for Oklahoma, go back far enough to see if your great grandfather is listed. Go to www.census.gov/genealogy/www
I hope this helps.
