Thank you!\n\nGreat presentation with very helpful information!\n\nGreat Webinar!\n\nGreat, I could listen to her all day. Very informative. \n\nI knew most of this from a novel I read about the Native Americans in Oklahoma. Can't remember the title. Very good but sad.\n\nI learned a lot about where to look for Native ancestry. Thank you.\n\nI learned a lot more about Native American history than I did in college!

As far as researching.....I guess I was looking for more detail of the HOW to research the various records (or indexes) and repositories she mentioned. \n\nIt was wonderful. Very informative. \n\nJanice Lovelace is an excellent speaker. Enjoyed this webinar very much. Unfortunately for me the Native American in my family tree occurred in the late 1700's and I have almost exhausted all avenues of proving she was Native American. Will explore newspapers per Janice's advise.
