There are two sets of "rolls" that determine if your family is considered to be part of the Cherokee Tribe. The Dawes Rolls and the Guion Miller Rolls. Please note however that there were many Cherokee that would run or refuse to enter their names on these rolls as they saw it as a death sentence. You need to search these rolls and find your family names there, if possible, but please remember that these rolls are not the 'end all' decider of your bloodlines; but they are the officially used rolls to make legal determinations by those two tribal authorities. You can still be of Cherokee decent, just not officially recognized for government programs etc.
