Native American Research Receives a Boost - Anonymous

Since you asked readers to write in about their Native American
heritage a few weeks ago, I thought I would write in and let readers
know about a new resource for doing Native American research.

Ancestry.com just put the U.S. Indian Census Schedules, 1885-1940
online. These have always been a useful resource for people
researching their Native American roots, but until now you had to
access them through NARA or a local family history center. By putting
them online, Ancestry has now made them much more accessible.

One of the best things about these censuses--which were taken on
Indian reservations--is that they occurred every year. In some ways
that makes them much more useful than the U.S. federal censuses, which
were only taken every ten years.

So if you have Native American ancestry make sure to check out this
collection. If you don't have an Ancestry.com subscription, find a
friend or library that does, or try a free three-day subscription.
