 Enrollment Requirements: Finding your Cherokee ancestors
Posted on Monday, March 28 @ 23:40:22 CST
In 1976, Cherokee voters ratified a new Cherokee Constitution, which changed the ways of measuring tribal membership. At that time, it was determined that anyone who could trace direct descent from the Dawes Rolls, a census taken between 1902-1907, could become a registered citizen of the Cherokee Nation. There are now over 165,00 registered Cherokee citizens.

StumbleUpon Toolbar Stumble It!

Did your ancestor reside in the North Carolina /
Tennessee
area?

If yes, is his/her name on any roll in Cherokee Roots by Bob Blankenship?

If yes, contact the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, PO Box 455, Cherokee NC 28719

If no, are they on the Guion Miller general index (m-1104, roll)?

If yes, follow references from Miller records on M-685 to Drennen or Chapman Rolls (M-685, Roll 12)

If no, they are on the "Intruder" lists? (7RA-53 and 7RA-55)

If yes, they were not recognized as Cherokee citizens.

If no, check the 1896 Old Settler Payment Roll (T-985)

If yes, check Old Settler roll of 1851 (M-685, roll 12).

Check History of the Cherokee Indians by Emmet Starr

If no, your ancestor may be Cherokee but it is unlikely they are on any roll.

Did your ancestors live in Oklahoma between 1893 and 1906?

If yes, are they on the Dawes Rolls? (Microfiche M-1186, roll 1)

If not on the Dawes Rolls, are they on the Guion Miller general index (M-1104, roll)?

If yes, follow references from Miller records on M-685 to Drennen or Chapman Rolls (M-685, Roll 12). You can get a copy of someone's application by sending the application number to: National Archives (NNFJ), Washington, D.C., 20408

If no, are they on the "intruder " lists? (7RA-53 and 7RA-55)?

If yes, they were not recognized as Cherokee citizens.

If no, check the 1896 Old Settler Payment Roll (T-985).

If yes, check Old Settler Roll of 1851 (M-685, roll 12).

Check History of the Cherokee Indians, by Emmet Starr.

If no, your ancestor may be Cherokee but it is unlikely they are on any Roll.

If yes, (they were listed on the Dawes Rolls) note their enrollment number and category and find their enrollment card on M-1186.

Then use the information on enrollment card to search earlier rolls such as 1896 Census (7RA-19) and 1880 Census (7RA-07).

Then check M-1301 for enrollment packet.

Is this a direct ancestor?

If yes, you maybe eligible for registration.
