Choctaw ancestory help?

Question

I've asked before but I'll ask again: my grandmother was full blood choctaw. She was an orphan and was sent to Wheelock Academy. Is there a way I can find enrollment records to find out who her birthparents are? Please don't just give me links to the choctaw website, I am choctaw you know!

Answer 1

The National Archives

Records of the Bureau of Indian Affairs [ BIA ]

They have records for Wheelock Academy-!916-1926.

Answer 2

Check with the BIA. They should have records since they were the agency that would have funded the Indian Schools. If you are on the rolls they should have a record to identify your grandmothers parents even though she was an orphan.

Answer 3

Depending on her age, if you have her name, you may be able to find a birth record at familysearch.org or possibly on a census.
