Siyo Donnie,

This was a great find. Any follow up to know if he was approved?

Is he one of your direct ancestors?

I have become very active in Cherokee matters, correspondng with a number of folks both on the CNO and around the country.

Of course none of my direct line of folks ever made it on a roll, likely through choice, although Nar-nee was listed on the old settlers roll as deceased according to Delmar.

In my research I found a number of Asbells who applied for Creek citizenship. I sent them off to Delmar and posted them on the Asbell genweb. I'll post them here in case there is an interest. Their names as follows:
