| == Why Should I Look at This Collection? ==
| |
| Add this section to describe any special benefit to looking at this collection.
| |
|
| |
| == What is in This Collection? == | | == What is in This Collection? == |
| Please do not just copy and paste the Publishable Description from the Guidance Tab in Rosetta. Use that description as a base and add information based on what you know about the collection when the article is written. Check out the original records or microfilm collections, to see what they look like. At first this description is only preliminary, it should be updated as more is known about the collection or the collection scope changes. You may want to mention the archive where the collection was housed.
| | This collection contains census and other rolls listing names of Cherokee Indians, primarily of the Eastern Band of that tribe. Each of the Eastern Cherokee census rolls was compiled for different administrative reasons, had a different format, and contained different amounts of information. Most of the rolls were made to determine eligibility for payments due under provisions of the 1835 treaty, or were receipt rolls for payments made to tribal members. Some of the rolls are copies that were used by enrolling agents to assist them in their work. Most of the rolls are arranged by geographical location of residence, and most include alphabetical indexes of the names of persons enrolled. |

| == What Can These Records Tell Me? == | | == What Can These Records Tell Me? == |
| The idea is to give the article readers an idea what information is include in each image or record.
| | Most of the census or reservation rolls may include" |
| Add a list of information listed in the records.
| | *The Cherokee roll number |
| We usually begin with this phrase: The following information may found in these records:
| | *The Council roll number |
| You may use a sentence if the list is short or a list of phrases that describe the data found in the records. Please use phrases such as Name of Deceased, Birthdate of bride, and Occupation of groom.
| | *The Native American name of the individual |
| Rosetta often lists this information. Go to the Guidance tab, scroll down to the Fields heading, and look at the table column labeled as Name.
| | *The English name of the individual |
| Sometimes a column format works better, here is the coding to use for columns:
| | *Relationships to the head of household |
| {{col-begin|width=75%}}
| | *Gender |
| {{col-break}}
| | *Age |
| '''Record Type'''

| Add advice about how to use the discovered information. For example:
| | *If the individual or family or listed in the reservation rolls, check for additional tribal records |
| *Do not forget to cite the record. See below for help citing this collection. | | *Learn about tribal customs such as inheritance |
| *If possible, use what you know to find an image of the original record. The index contains only basic identifying information for a person; the original record therefore may contain more information not found in the index. | | *Contact the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), or an agency associated with the tribe |
| *Continue to search the index for family members. | | *Contact Tribal archives and libraries |
| | |
| === I Can’t Find the Person I’m Looking For, What Now? === | | === I Can’t Find the Person I’m Looking For, What Now? === |
| Add advice about alternate records, search methods, locations, etc. For example:
| | *The name of your ancestor may have changed from one Indian name to a different Indian name, consider alternative names |
| *Check for variants of given names and surnames. It was not uncommon for an individual to be listed under a nickname, middle name, or abbreviation of their given name. | | *The name of your ancestor may have changed from an Indian name to a Christian name |
| *Search the records of nearby locations. In the period of this collection, few individuals ever lived more than 20 miles from their place pf birth, though smaller moves were common. | | *The name of your ancestor may have been abbreviated |
