Index to Articles found in the El Farol Newspaper 1905-1906

El Farol Masthead

The Lincoln County New Mexico online archives contains pdf’s of all remaining copies of the El Farol Newspaper of Capitan NM, but doesn’t have an index to the newspaper. C. W. Barnum, an active member of AHGP, and state coordinator for the New Mexico AHGP recently invested his time and energy into providing an every person index to the various extant issues. He has shared this wonderful index with AccessGenealogy in hopes that it will reach a wider audience. Enjoy!

Biographies of the Cherokee Indians

1830 Map of Cherokee Territory in Georgia

The Cherokee Indians, primarily from the Southeastern U.S., have a rich history marked by their early adoption of a written language and a government structure similar to that of the United States. Despite their forced relocation to Oklahoma in the 1830s, they maintained significant genealogical ties, often intermarrying with Whites. Emmet Starr’s “History of the Cherokee Indians and Their Legends and Folklore” emphasizes personal biographies and genealogies, providing insights into the lives and connections of many Cherokee families across generations, thereby enriching their cultural narrative.
