In one generation of my family we were classified as free people of color. In between census , my family claimed to find and adopt a Cherokee girl. That girl took the family name , she then married a man who was classified as free person of color. Two census later their children were registered as white. At the time being Cherokee was easier than black or mixed, Cherokee could vote, own slaves , own property. They were considered an lay to the government post revolutionary war. So, families like mine that were African and European mix would sometimes try to hide the African and claim native. I found evidence of this in my family. I am white by appearance and cultural experience, learning this about my own kin really changes my perspective on what people did to survive and maintain their freedom and attempt owning things and having rights. Have you ever come across this kind of circumstance? I m part melungeon. My family uses the term black dutch sometimes when speaking of that part of the family, and the mixed history.

Very informative. Thank you

I saw on another document Doll's Row (Byrd's as Cherokee)!!!! I was thinking that that's the plantation owners name but Surnames!!! 💕 Love this deep knowledge!!!

I have Dawes number for my Grandmother's grandfather. How can I research and verify it.

My family is from Virginia and we are Cherokee,Choctaws,Chickasaws and Creek but they weren't slaves.

It you be great to see a step by step set of directions how to find Dawes Census cards for a family member. I know the enrollment number but now what?

YOU CAN FIND YOUR ANCESTORS IF YOU LOOK ON THE SLAVESHIP DOCUMENTS

My grandma told me since I was young that we had Mohawk blood but I only have 2% native ancestry so I’m confused

I am not interested in monetary gain, I truly want to find my native American ancestry. I was shocked to get my DNA results back from ancestry and it showed zero Native DNA. I show DNA links to family members that are native but I show none. So confusing. I'm so excited to find this utube channel to help understand this better. Thank you!

How can you be Indian and African-American at the same time. Our people are so ignorant!

Thank You

But you really can't go by the last name because it could be bigger than you think

hey can you do Frank Readus from Canton MS?? thank you

I hope this video will be helpful.

Great information thank you

All great videos ❤

Yes I Would

😄😄😄look at that source I got mine

I’m older and wish I could have met all of them, to hear the stories they’ve heard. If this ever happens again, how can I be apart of it

Cherokee Freedmen were never African slaves. Out of Africa is BS. You can't tell what continent a person is from based on their hair or the shade of their skin. The history concocted in Hollywood is not real history.

Most dark skinned slaves in the Americas are not from Africa. We were already here. They just told us we’re from Africa. European indentured servants/slaves were classified as Negro too. I’ve never seen a white or black person. That’s a caste system.

Native American and Indigenous American ancestry can be the same but at the same time be different

This is the same woman who said it didn't matter which state you were in-and-in the same breath says in breath says for an example that someone contacted her about a family member They lived in Georgia and automatically says that the roles did not apply to them. This lady doesn't know what she's talking about, you can have family from the Carolina's Virginia's Or down in Georgia who was a part of the trail of tears in which that will apply to Cherokees as well. That well. That doesn't mean that you are not a part of Cherokees if you were outside of the state of Oklahoma. She is Totally incorrect.

The Dawes rolls is a creation made-up by the US government not for Native Americans but for people posing as Native Americans.

beautiful work love this video... wado

Good advice. I’ve been able to trace many of my ancestors to Louisa and Rockbridge counties in Virginia. I’ve found the further back I went in the records the more they were listed as “ free people of color “, “ Free Mulattos “ or Mulatto. Many of the surnames were very common in those regions: Jackson, Clarke, Winston, Mosby, Jennings and Cole(s). So it can be a challenge to avoid going down the rabbit hole. I’ve also found if I can trace a direct line from my furthest ancestor to me, then you know your( or reasonably know ) on the right path.

I know my great grandma was either creek or Cherokee not sure what tribe yet ..South Carolina and Georgia area but we took the Last Name DeVoe which is French wat makes me think my ancestors were killed and pushed out by them and the ones that stayed probably mother with kids we took their last name but her father and mother was Cherokee and I need to know where my tribe at I’m bout to get my ancestors land back it’s up

Cherokee slaves we're of p o w's of war and American slave owners were mostly kidnap and cruelly programed,free Larry Hover!!! Means time to unify!!!

Hello I'm unsure if you are aware of black people claiming to be Indigenous to America. They vlaim they were here in America already, but it gets worse, fake Indigenous are claiming to be the true Indigenous

I'm looking for the rejected applications (or any application) on the national archives website but it seems like I'm going in circles. Are these applications available online or do we have to travel to Fort Worth or DC to view them?

Good job I’ve done research since I was 13 and native Americans and African Americans are the hardest to research 🧐 but I love ❤️ it

I don't want money!!!!! I just want to right the wrong and find my ancestors

If in ever again I will be there

If are Mongolian, Asian or European you are not indigenous or aboriginal to this land you are a foreigner. She sounds like she believes in the outer Africa Theory.🚷🚷🚷🚷🚷🚷🚷

Trying to Help my fiancee.In finding ancestor whom we know n see on Dawes Roll.How can I find out or we find if land allotment was left for descendants

Thank you. The information is definitely useful.

that's what my research is about more about connecting to a side of the family that I'm not close with. My mom and dad divorced a long time ago, because he was just not that great of a father, or husband, so my mom never allowed me to be apart of that side because of that. My grandma my father's mother, was an amazing grandma she loved her kids and grandkids I don't know much about her family either though. I always heard we had NM ancestry from my grandpa's side on my dads, side ever since I was very little, so I've been more curious about it than anything. According to my mother she met my great grandma, on my dads side when she lived in Alabama and she was very clearly NM. I do take into consideration that that was a long time ago in the 80's, my brother was born in 87, I was born in 91, so I'm not sure. She says that were cherokee, I found who my great grandmother was, and did find her mother and her mothers father on the swetland roll and on the chapman roll, and possibly my great grandmother and her father on the miller roll as well. My great grandma's mother whose last name was "Goble" her mother, was said to have been Native American and her mother and father were half and whatever else. That's all that I've found so far. My great grandma's mom, was said to have been 1/8 from a cherokee enrollment paper that I got from my aunt on my dads side, I dont know how far she went in her research, so I've kinda taken over lol.

Thank you so much for sharing the various ways we can research Blacks associated with Native Americans in the 1800’s and early 1900’s. Thank you too for providing the names of specific resources/references including item numbers.

I really wish we stop calling American Indians "African slaves".

I’m Chickasaw and I’ve been looking for my freeman tribe

Thank you! I can't wait to explore more of this topic.

Are you still available? My only quorum is it I’m surprise you’re using a term Native American because everybody is a Native American if they were born on his land. There’s a difference in being an aboriginal. However I love the tips you gave in his video.

What's being said is that we as people are misnomers but European natives are the Real American Indian.

No new info.
