I had quite a time tracing my Cherokee ancestors. A trip to the tribal archives in Oklahoma helped, and the genealogy centers of the Mormon Church have been good (doesn't matter if you're Mormon--I'm not).

Thanks for the Award Julie! I need to get cracking on this, as I was awarded it earlier this month by another genea-blogger.
ReplyDeleteI'm also excited about the Canadian Census Kathryn - especially that 1861! Mind you there are many missing areas in 1861, just as in 1851 but I'm still hopeful I will find my elusive PEER family!
Caleb, I completely agree with you - the genealogy at LDS is amazing. Sure wish I could take a trip to Salt Lake City to do more research
Not only are the Mormon genealogy centers good, the people who staff them give a lot of help.
