RIGHT.......If you are White and using the Dawes Roll to research your "Native American Ancestry"..... Most of YOU...... are NOT part Native American! I had to chuckle when she said.....If you do a DNA test done and it doesn't find Native American ancestry...... You could still be Native American, YES but not for the BS reasons she gave......It's.... BECAUSE.....You're just a 5 dollar Indian! Again.....If you're White.....being on the Dawes Rolls, DOES NOT mean you are Native American.....it means your ancestors Paid 5 dollars, to be included on those rolls....So they could receive the 40 acres (per person) allotted to Actual Native Americans. Think I'm wrong.......go look at the actual list! I'm supposed to Believe....people, with Surnames like..... Cooper....... Gibson..... Clay.....

I think all the census records (Dawse book) was filled out by white people to keep up with number of indians! My indian ancestry came from the indians who escaped from trail of tears, the fore no records! My mother was taught at an early age to deny her indian blood lines, therefore her ancesters only choice to be independent and not to be forced to live on a reservation, the census at that time only had 3 choices, The whites filled out the, white_______ black_________ malatas________ . Native indian did not exist except in dawse book on reservation. Government decided to mark malata, gov. Did not want to look bad with all the escapist that ran and did rather well on there own! My Mother passed away July 17th 2008, Cherokee Mother of the Panther clan of north central Florida. She never was called a "STINKING INDIAN" Mother had her card & papers, they were sent with her. I have no need to step on others for pure greed! Just wish I could remember everything she tried to teach me about her ways!

Lydia's son, Nathaniel "Ned De" Wofford and AhNeWaKe Wofford and child were on the Trail of Tears.

My great great grandmothers name was Sarah Herd, not sure of the spelling. She was married to Fountain Halbrook in Salem Mo. In about 1840 she was removed to Oklahoma with their oldest daughter. She was supposedly Choctaw. Somehow he was successful in bringing them home and had more children. We would like to be able to confirm our Indian heritage so we can be able to adopt Indian children who are in danger of being separated from their siblings. Our passion is keeping siblings together as they have already lost so much. We are not exclusively looking at only Indian children but some have come up and we are currently excluded from being able to adopt them because we are not a member of a recognized tribe.

I am looking for my 6th G Grandmother. People believe she was born in London, England. Her grandson and Great grandson said she was 100% Lenni Lenape. Her birthday shows she was born in 1674, however that might be what they believe to be her English birthday. Her English name before she was married was Mary Carlile. I don't know her Indian name. It was said that her father's name was Sachem. In doing research, it seems Sachem meant Peace Chief. The one Chief that stands out during that timeframe is Tamanend, though right now I can't prove it. She lived with the Quakers in Burlington, New Jersey, and married the 1st Quaker to come from England, Richard Haines who founded the area. You mentioned that if a Native married a white person, they would be included into the tribe. Obviously, the Dawes Rolls are not going to help me. What year were the Delaware absorbed into the Cherokee Tribe? How can I find my Native ancestor. I am not looking for enrollment, I am looking for truth. Would appreciate any help you can offer.

Hi Christine!! We're sorry to hear that you're having difficulty researching your 6th great grandmother, and we'd be happy to help in any way we can. Unfortunately however, the best that we can do for you when you are struggling to locate a record is provide search tips, as we are not able to search for records for you. This is because while we on support here at Ancestry are experts on the website itself, we are not professional genealogists, so even if we were to do a search for you we would not be able to verify that the information we'd find is correct, and this could lead to misinformation on people's trees.

Have you started a family tree on Ancestry yet? You start with yourself and then add what you know about your parents and grandparents. Then, talk to your parents (and grandparents if they are still around) and find out what they know about their parents and grandparents. Enter that information into your family tree. Once you do that you should start to get hints to census and birth, marriage, and death records that will lead you to even more discoveries.

Tried digging through census documents and such but can't tell which what's accurate and true for our family because we don't really know what we're looking for now.

You can think of it this way, North America is a continent, "Native Americans" are the aboriginals of the land no matter where on the continent whether it be Canada, USA or Mexico. Everyone has their names for their tribes or groups. It's a rabbit hole trying to uncover all of it in most families due to native americans having less rights than anyone in north america. A lot of people would lie and say they were not Native american just so they could own land.( I'm sure its not that simple but I use that for an example of lesser rights) That in itself will pose problems in future research being factual.

Dawes Military list: I researched Eliza Mae( Leader) Goad and her children because I wanted to find out how they got the Goad last name. She married an uncle in the later 1800's -- James Ledonia Goad out of Hopkins Texas and their children are listed as part Cherokee, Indian Territory, Oklahoma. I traced James Goad to a mutual ancestor who was the father of my ancestor Abraham Goad (early 1700's). Apparently, Eliza (Elizabeth)Mae Leader's father was part Chocktaw/Cherokee and her mother was Blackfoot/ Cherokee. We shouldn't romanticize Native Americans. Most large tribes had extensive territories and government prior to European Contact. They also had a matriarchal type government ( Meaning EQUALITY)
