    Sue on resource that I don't see mentioned is the old newspapers. In my own resource I've found the old newspapers to be a lot of help. One problem with them is that I get involved in reading the whole paper. Everything from the adds to who is visiting who.

      I thought I would pass along some interesting sites that was on a hand out at the OK History Center talk in July. The talk was presented by Sharron Standifer Ashton.
      One source to check is the Fort Smith Criminal Court Records. It is a searchable data base of 50,000 criminal court cases. At http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~texlance/records/... The national archives is the source of theis database.

      Oklahoma Historical Society Indian Archives Card Index.
      1900 Federal Population Census of Indian Territory (T623 Rools 1843-1854

      I'll post somemore as I get more time.

        Is there much difference between the 1986 and 2006 versions of the Historical Atlas of Oklahoma? In most cased the newest version is best, but I have found sometimes in updating they omit information in the newer version.
