[Genealib] "Cherokee by Blood"

[Susan Scouras]

Anyone with either of these sets should also have Extract of the
Rejected Applications of the Guion Miller Roll of the Eastern Cherokee,
by Jo Ann Curls Page, 3 vol., Heritage Books.  Has parents and
grandparents listed.  Although rejected for inclusion on the Cherokee
rolls, many of these people probably were Native American, just not
Cherokee.  The Cherokee had won lawsuits that had drug on for decades,
and other tribes were not successful.  Only the Cherokee were eligible
for settlements.  Others may have been of Cherokee descent, but just
couldn't prove it well enough.

	I have noticed on Genealogical Publishing's web site that Jeff
Bowen has published
	Eastern Cherokee by Blood, 1906-1910 in five volumes. The
records are: Applications 
	1 to 21,880 from the U.S. Court of Claims, 1906-1910.
Cherokee-Related Records of Special Commissioner Guion Miller.
	
	You may need to check out the records that are published in the
nine volume set you have:
	Cherokee By Blood: Records of Eastern Cherokee Ancestry in the
US       
	Court of Claims, 1906-1910     [Applications 1 - 27800]

	 by Jerry Wright Jordan, 1987
	
	There might be a duplication.

			Hello all!
			
			
			  
			I'm a new genealogist/genealogy librarian...  I
hope someone can help me with this question.
			
			
			  
			Our genealogy department recently purchased a
set of books by Jeff Bowen, "Eastern Cherokee by Blood".  I see that we
have already on-shelf a set of volumes entitled "Cherokee by Blood" by
Jerry Wright Jordan.  Prior to purchase, I looked up each requested book
in our card catalog - obviously Bowen's set was not included in our
catalog, but upon review, I wonder if the two sets are identical - and
if I should cancel the order of Bowen's set in order to save money for
new books that include information we do not have in our collection?  If
the sets are fundamentally different, or each includes some different
names, or if the Bowen book is - say - better indexed...  I'd be happy
for us to follow through on the order...
			
			
			  
			Any ideas?  
			
			
			  
			Thank you!
