I have been trying for so long to find more information on a part of my family, but I have found very little. So, I'm going the route of looking for a genealogist that specializes in areas of East Texas to OK (Red River to Choctaw/Durant area).
There is Native American blood in my family, but I can't find anything official that states this; I have found nothing within the Dawes and Freedman lists. It's near impossible to trace any further back than my great-grandfather, he is listed as Mulatto for awhile and then later Negro on the census...all anyone knows is that his mother was full Choctaw and his father was a slave.
If anyone has any recommendations for genealogist who specialize in those areas, I would very much appreciate it or just a point in some direction.

Do you have an Ancestry subscription? They have a link to some professional genealogist and I'm sure direct contact will tell you if they work your area of interest.
Mom, I checked Ancestry and have this info; PROGENEALOGISTS, Salt Lake City, UT, Toll Free phone is 800-596-3230 Monday thru Friday 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM Mountain Time. Good luck. Please post here what you think about the contact info and how it works out.
I would first check with local genealogical and/or historical societies in the communities/counties you want to investigate. They may have more info or can point you in the right direction.
