Question

With Adoption. Indian adopted by white family. Does he use his Mothers number? as he has it.

what about his Daughter.. would she just use the status same number? I don't know the grand fathers name or the great grand fathers name.

Answer 1

In oder to be enrolled with a tribe there must be a connection with a member who is already enrolled AND you must have at least the minimum required amount of that tribes blood.  If you have the parents enrollment numbers then you use them to enroll. The tribe can usually search their database at a cost if you only have the vital statistics.

If he is one of the "Civilized Tribes" (Creek, Choctaw, Chippewa, Seminole, and Cherokee), then an ancestor must appear on the Dawes Rolls (usually a grandparent or great grandparent). The Rolls have what degree of blood some of the people had.

Good luck
