The Sanderville Indian Reservation is part of the Mississippi Band of the Choctaw Indian tribe. It is near Laurel, Mississippi, in Jones County.

You might try to contact the Mississippi Band of the Choctaws, and they may have some referrals to you to track your history with theirs: At least they could refer you to genealogy societies and historical libraries that may have some information.

Here is an address to start:


Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians
Office of Public Information
101 Industrial Road
Choctaw, MS 39350
questions, contact the Office of Public Information at (601) 663-7532.

Good luck.
