A few years back I discovered my Grandmother is Choctaw and was registered on the Dawes. I also found that she had a brother and that her mother (my great-grandmother) had sisters who had children as well. Finally, I gathered all the documents necessary to submit for approval/registration to the Choctaw Nation.

Now what? I know nothing about my grandmother's family. I do know that her brother's granddaughter found me on the message board on the Choctaw Nation ... wow! that was really exciting -- probably one of the best moments of my life. But, I know there are more out there! I have no idea how to go about finding them.

I am not interested in Casino stuff, benefits, etc. .... all I want is to find my family. I want to belong and if I can find someone I want them to tell me about my grandmother's culture -- now my culture. It seems hard to do because it seems most people are looking for something beneficial -- something monetary --I just want to find my family. I know they are out there ...

I live in New Mexico so it's hard for me to travel and search for them. My grandmother was born in Atoka ... the certificate says Wesley Indian Territory, Atoka, Oklahoma. If anyone has any ideas on what all I can do or know a place where I can start -- please let me know.

Hello, I'm an enrolled member of the Choctaw Nation but have been since birth so I don't exactly know what you're going through. I did, however, find the following link on the tribe's website that will hopefully be of assistance to you!
