Genealogy Update for 22-25 January 2009

Much of this weekend was spent by Judy and myself in "rebuilding" sections of the site which had become "antiquated" in our eyes. I also took the time to completely rebuild one of the most popular areas of AccessGenealogy, our Native American Rolls. These pages were taking up a huge amount of resources everytime somebody landed on them, and the new format allows you to search them much more quickly, and reduces the load on our servers. In some case, such as the final rolls, or otherwise known as Dawes Rolls, we now require at least a partial surname in order to get results. If you want to search by card or roll number, then also insert a partial or complete surname.

Search Native American Rolls:

• Final Roll Index
• Dawes Final Roll
• Armstrong Roll
• Baker Roll
• Guion Miller Roll
• Kern Clifton Roll
• Reservation Roll
• Old Settlers Roll
• Ute Roll
• Wallace Roll

Native American Census Records:

• 1880 Cherokee Census
• 1896 Census Applications

Search Criminal Records:

• Fort Smith Arkansas Criminal Records 1866-1900

Genealogy Update for 8 January 2009

Yesterday I had to spend some of my time away from the computer. I did manage to find time to put online a new manuscript for Virginia, and Judy added and updated several of our Native American manuscripts.

I added the following manuscript online to our Virginia section of AccessGenealogy:

• A Portrait of Georgetown
  This portrait is not a detailed history, but rather a memoir of Grace Peter and her memories of George Town. In it she brings alive people and places, and provides a vivid depiction of how things were while she grew up. Plenty of names, images, and a couple of maps, makes this a great resource for early Georgetown.

Judy added the following original manuscripts to our Native American Section:

• Refelections of my Life
• Bee Trouble (Bee Surname)
• Gunfight at Whitmire School

Judy added or corrected the following pages in the Native American area of Access Genealogy:

• History of the Indian Tribes of North America Vol. I
• History of the Indian Tribes of North America Vol. II
• Arkansas Indian Tribes
• Armstrong Roll

Enjoy the pages!
