Oral History states that your family has
Indian ancestry but you don�t know which tribe. This list of Slave Owners
Surnames is to assist you in identifying which tribe you may want to
search. After obtaining the tribe you should go to the 1860 Slave schedule
and locate the Slave owner, District and perhaps your ancestors. (You may
want to use your browser key to locate the surname as these names appear on
more that one page of the schedule) You can also go directly to the Dawes
Commission Freedmen Index and search for your known ancestors name by tribe
