      Search the Dawes Final Rolls
      "What kind of information will I find on the Dawes Rolls?
      The Rolls list the individual's name, age, sex, blood degree, census card number and page, enrollment number, and tribe.
      In most cases the ages indicated on the rolls are the age of individuals around 1902. Those listed as "newborns" and "minors" were born after the initial enrollment began in 1898, but before March of 1907."
