We considered it a "must have" as soon as we saw they were including the
Dawes Packets which include Indian Territory Cherokees, Choctaws, Creeks,
Chickasaws, and Seminoles. It was worth the subscription just for them. We
have the Dawes on microfilm, but you can search all documents on Footnotes
and locate persons mentioned in someone else's interview, something not
possible otherwise.

 

Personally, I'm also enjoying the Texas Death records and passing the word
along to our patrons who have Texas roots.

 

The loading time is rather slow, but I'm still learning the system and
finding new treasures daily.

Is anyone on the list using Footnote.com?  If so, what do you think of it?

 

Is there an institutional subscription available?  Or just personal
subscriptions?

 

Thanks.
