To simply research for blood often takes the researcher down a dangerous path of neglecting vital family history. The genealogical search then becomes fragmented, and incomplete.  Hopefully the quest for the entire story, will always be in focus. The "blood" will appear if it is there and if it was recorded. The story however, is still significant if it does not appear. To abandon the search because "Indian blood" is not listed, OR-----greater still to choose to ONLY research the ancestors with the Indian blood is a travesty in terms of ancestral research. It gives credence to the fallacy of "lesser" or "impure" blood of the African. This can be avoided by keeping the quest for true knowledge in the forefront of one's genealogy efforts.

However, blood is not the issue in genealogy.  HISTORY is the issue.  On the other hand, blood is an issue in politics-----as tribal enrollment will reveal, and 20th century politics from South Africa will reveal.  Genealogy however, involves an objective search-----a methodical objective study of records from many sources -- geographical, historical, legal, educational, federal, and many more.

This list, therefore is being provided as a possible pointer for those looking for ancestors from Indian Territory. The soldiers from the 83rd US Colored Infantry, and from the Indian Home Guards will also be added.  Not all of these soldiers and surnames were from Indian Territory. However, many of them were. To make use of this list one should research the records of the 79th, USCT.
