The Dawes Roll (Final Rolls) is a list of those members of the Five Civilized Tribes who removed to Indian Territory (Oklahoma) during the 1800’s and were living there during the period of 1898-1914. If your Cherokee ancestor was in the East then you should use the Guion Miller Roll taken in 1906, or the Baker Roll taken in 1924. The Baker Roll is considered the final roll for the Eastern Cherokee Tribe.
If your ancestor was not living in Indian Territory during 1898-1914, they will not be listed on the Dawes Roll!!
Only those Indians who RECEIVED LAND under the provisions of the Dawes Act are listed. It also lists those Freedmen who received land allotments as provided for in the Dawes Act. These pages can be searched to discover the enrollee’s name, age, sex, blood degree, type, census card number and roll number. Check the headings in each column. Type denotes whether the record is from a Dawes card.
