[Genealib] RE: Genealib / Eastern Cherokee Applications

[Rhonda Stoffer]

Thanks Cori,

 

We do have that series of books, I'll make sure he has looked at it. The
applications he is interested in he found in 'Extract of the Rejected
Applications of the Guion Miller Roll of the Eastern Cherokee' by Jo Ann
Curls Page. Do you know if these applications are included in that
series of films? Thanks!

Hi Rhonda,

 

      we have the series 'Cherokee by Blood' by Jerry Wright Jordan, in
which he's transcribed Guion Miller's report to the Court of Claims
(M685, 12 rolls).  In volume one, Jordan gives a couple of examples of
the full applications that appear on the 348 rolls of M1104 -- comparing
these with the abstracted versions in the book, you can see that there
is a LOT of information given in the applications that doesn't make it
into the abstracted report.  I'd say it would definitely be worth
ordering the rolls with the original applications.  If you'd like me to
scan the examples and send them to you so your patron can see the extent
of the difference, I'll be happy to.

     

Cheers,

Has anyone used this series of microfilm from the National Archives? I
have a patron who is interested in using the films, but there are 348 in
the series, divided by application number, so he would have to rent
several rolls through our Familysearch center. Does anyone know what
information can be found on these films? Are there several pages of
information on each applicant, or is most of the information available
in the extract books? Thanks.
