After you finish those records, turn to records specifically about Indians. Opportunities for genealogical research for American Indians are good because more government records have been created for Indians than for any other ethnic group. Many Indian records must still be obtained from their original archive or library. | Start your search for records of an [[Indians of the United States and Their Records|American Indian]] ancestor in other records since Indians are often found in the same records as all other Americans.
