Shawnee Guardianships, Part 1, (Under Sac & Fox Agency, Oklahoma), 1892 -
1909, Volume XII. Jeff Bowen.
Paperback, 2019, Index, 334 pp. It starts with some fascinating materials
covering not just the Shawnee but the Sac and Fox Nations. The first volumes
concern the estates of these tribal members along with a mixture of other
tribes within the Sac and Fox Agencies jurisdiction: Tribes such as the Absentee
Shawnee, the Potawatomie, Winnebago, Mexican Kickapoo, Iowa, Otoe, and Pawnee,
to name a few. These volumes will cover a multitude of classifications as they
progress. You will first of all in early volumes find estates, beginning in
1885 and follow through with genealogical source materials for families that
have only wished they had years ago. You will find long sought after questions
answered through Births, Deaths, Adoptions, and Guardianships. There will also
be other records with Wills, Cemetery Records, Vital Statistics, Marriage, and
Divorces later within this series. These materials are carefully transcribed
from original documents that were rescued from a loft with a leaky roof. They
were close to being lost forever from water damage. These logbooks and
documents were boxed and stored in an attic where they kept vegetables in a
building owned by the Sac and Fox Indian Agency. J-B1435 |
