Hi my name is debra and I’m sure some has read my previous post.I have just come across a native american application for enrollment by a 4 great grandmother the year is 1896. tribe-cherokee application 615 roll#1 roll description roll 01-master index. what exactly would this be? debra
She was applying to get on the rolls. Can you tell if she was accepted? Many were not, quite often because they were from tribes no one knew much about, or because being Cherokee was the only acceptable way of claiming their heritage. In any case, they can be a real treasure trove of information that can be very credible. Get ahold of the application if you can. You probably have to go to DC to see it.
You can order copies to be mailed to you by contacting N.A.R.A. You would request an application jackect. Include your great grandmothers name. Send a money order for $15.
Order Copies
- To order copies of the census cards, application jackets, and land allotment jackets please include in your request the name of the tribe, enrollment category, roll number, and census card number (from the Census card number you found in the Final Rolls).

This site might help. http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native/dawes.php?s_last=hancock&s_first=&s_middle=&s_tribe=
Searching for your ancestor might allow you to obtain the application card number. I think maybe the site tells you how and where to get that information for viewing.

Hi 7hawks I did send off for the application, but someone on afrigeans.com looked it up on footnotes and they don’t think it was my polly goins.If I had thought about it my polly goins was born abt 1800 and the year of this application was 1896. anyway we’ll see what happens if I get it. debra
Hi 7hawk,I recieved the application today. I had originlly found this on someones tree on ancestry.They were looking for the same people as me.they had the application under the polly goins I was looking for.anyway the polly goins on this 1896 na application was the daughter of george fields.They were from eastern tn.also on the application is her children Riley Goins,Elisha Goins,Sherman goins,Adam Goins,and Mary e Goins. The application was rejected.Since this is not my g-g-g-grandmother there could be a relative of this pollys looking for this. debra
