Eastern Cherokee by Blood, 1906-1910: Applications 14,277-18,060 from the U.s Court of Claims, 1906-1910. Cherokee-related Records of Special Commissioner Guion Miller

Volume V in this series represents an additional 3,783 applications examined by compiler Jeff Bowen, bringing the total to more than 18,000. Mr. Bowen culled every shred of genealogical value from the applications, which in every case provides the application number, applicants name and city of residence, number of other persons in the applicants family, references to family members found in other applications, and the disposition of the application. In some instances, moreover, Mr. Bowen has supplemented the core elements found in the abstracts with references to other family members by name, relationship(s), and dates of birth and/or death. The researcher will find references to nearly 5,000 Cherokee descendants in this fully indexed volume, bringing the total number of descendants in Volumes One through Five to 34,000.
