I live in Kiowa County Oklahoma and am researching the families of Thompson and Hendricks but also have genealogy pertaining to other Oklahoma side families like Minton--Seay--Clarks--Portwoods.
The Clark and Seay and Mintons all married Thompsons of Oklahoma

I found it weird that Indian Territory microfilm was filed at our Family History Center at the end of the alphabet, not under o for Oklahoma or I for Indian Territory.

If you have done much census research for this area, you know that the 1900 census was divided into Indian Territory & Oklahoma Territory. I found it interesting that using the census searches on Heritage Quest doesn't always turn up the Native Americans that I am looking for. What I did discover is that many Indians are indexed with the word "Indian" for their surname. In I900 Indian Territory I found 265 listings with "Indian" as the surname. Oklahoma Territory shows up with 1831 entries. Also, 1910 census shows 19916 listings for Indian as a surname so it looks like these people were indexed according to their race.

Another interesting thing I discovered is that Ancestry.com does not differentiate between Indian Territory & Oklahoma Territory in the 1900 census, in fact, the words Indian Territory are not even available for selection as a place of residence! I did some searches for people that I found on the Heritage Quest database listed as Indian (surname) and couldn't find them on Ancestry.com even using their proper surname.

HMMM.........
