I have many friends that I have met on line and in person that are of NA Blood. Some are even card carriers. To be a card carrier would be a grt honor, but also is just a way for the white gov. to keep track of where and who we all are. I know in my heart that I am of NA descent, although there is no proof as all records were destroyed in CH fires. Ever wonder why so many courthouses caught fire? Was a way to get rid of evidence. Also the fact that my line of Sizemores left NC 3 yrs before the forced removal, would suggest that maybe they knew what was going to happen. And the chances of survival fitting in as a white family were far greater then surviving the Trail.
Although I cannot prove to the gov. or any tribe who I am. I am Honored to know who and what I am. My goal is just to find where my N/A Blood came from and from which tribe I desc.
My ggg grandparents were Mahala Sizemore b 1811 NC and Abijah Baldwin b 1808. Mahala Sizemore d/o Edward B Sizemore and Annie B Baldwin. Any help in this family would be greatly appriciated.
: I was just wondering if anyone has had
: any success joining the Cherokee or
: Creek tribes. I have traced my
: lineage back to Goldenhawk but I
: have discovered that an ancestor had
: to sign either the Dawes Roll or the
: Baker Roll in order to enroll. These
: signings occurred around 1900, so
: Goldenhawk would have been deceased.
: If there is any chance of enrollment
: one of his offspring must have
: signed one of the rolls. Any help is
: appreciated.
