The Dawes Commission letter logs are in order chronologically by 17 sets of years, and then alphabetically by the first two letters of the surname. Look for spill-over names at the end of each letter of the alphabet. Your ancestor’s name probably appears in only a few of them, but take a few minutes to search '''each log''' anyway. Logs list name, address, date of letter, file no., date received, subject, and action taken. They may provide clues that hint at relatives, or point to unexpected Dawes files. | |||
