A roll number is a person's personal ID number linking them to a tribe!. Each tribe maintains their own rolls and roll numbers!. If there is a specific tribe mentioned next to the roll number in your family book, you should contact the present-day tribal government of said tribe to find out more information!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
