Cherokee tribe in Oklahoma

maryj9696 Jul 17, 2019 4:58 PM

I am new at searching my genealogy and am trying to find out additional information regarding my fathers side of the family. He would like to know how we can go about finding out who was registered as a Cherokee tribe member.

Thank you for any help you may be able to provide.

Dear Ms. White,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We suggest that you begin your search by reviewing the information on the Native American Heritage pages, especially the Bureau of Indian Affairs page with information about the various tribal rolls.

Many of the rolls have been digitized by NARA’s partners. Some of the images are available via the National Archives Catalog and others are available via Ancestry, Fold3 and/or Family Search. Some are free and other services are fee based. Or you may view these records online at one NARA's facilities for free via ALIC. For the nearest NARA location, please consult our web page at https://www.archives.gov/locations/

We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your family research!
