You're welcome. BTW, I was looking at the 1930 Fed census images on
Ancestry the other day in Oklahoma (then "Indian Territory") and it
seems that they sorted the Indians into tribal groupings. One was of
the Cherokee people and another was a different tribe. I'm sure
there were more. Lots of half indians there. I only looked at a few
images and didn't find my immediate people, but I'm keeping this in
the back of my mind when I start working on my husband's Ragsdale line.
