Dark Wolfe, Welcome and thank you so much for sharing this. I am wondering if any of you can find an 1880 census for Carlisle? Would love to see this. I may have kin there at that time. Many thanks, Vicky

I looked, but the school is not listed in the 1880 Census. There are only 156 Indians listed in all of Pennsylvania, and only 2 in Cumberland County.
Finding an Indian in the federal census before 1900 is really hit and miss. For some reason, they are rarely listed. By 1900 pretty much everybody is listed, and the 1900 and 1910 censuses even asked specific questions about Indians.

Thank you Vicky, for allowing me to join this wonderful place full of kind and warm hearted people.
I read the whole Cumberland county and had no success. I do not like to fail ;D I am better at success! Jimmy is right, and they did not care too much for anyone who was not white being enumerated before 1900. But, once more I shall try some back doors and see what I find.
I am having very good luck in the schools, although reading about them is a sad thing. If you click my name you can see some stories I copied last night, from actual students at Hampton, Virginia. These were Sioux.
Vicky, tell me names and dates that you know and I will put them on my "watch for these" list!
As I remain, DarkWolfe

Thank you so much for your trouble, Jimmy and DarkWolfe. I have been thinking we need a new thread here for folks to list the tribes we are interested in, and the ancestors in those tribes who we are searching for. This would help new members, as well as those of us who experience the occasional senior moment! Whatcha say Jamie and Jimmy and all?
