While there are hundreds of federally-recognized tribes, there are also broad, general areas that can direct aspects of research. Knowing the geographic location of ancestral families can help to identify tribal connections. From knowing these potential tribal connections, specific record groups such as special Indian censuses, enrollment lists and tribal membership information can be utilized. As some Indians also held land, converted to Christianity, and had business relationships, other records can be helpful in placing these families in time and location.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin: 0px; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: calibri, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0px; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin: 0px; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: calibri, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0px; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;">While these families can be research challenges, as oral history and stories are foundational and there are often limited records, learning about tribal customs and naming patterns, lifestyles and movements, can help to locate fur trade, farming, military and other records that can help in locating family groups. Beginners will learn how to discern whether the family myth about a Native ancestor may be real and where to look, while more advanced beginners and intermediate researchers can begin to discover how to locate records unique to certain tribal membership requirements or resources. Learn how to use geography, tribal resources, historic records."</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin: 0px; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: calibri, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0px; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin: 0px; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: calibri, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0px; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;">To attend, please register here: <a href="https://lyon-lib.libcal.com/event/5608025?hs=a" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://lyon-lib.libcal.com/event/5608025?hs=a" data-mce-style="background-color: #fdfdfd; color: #000000; cursor: pointer;" style="background-color: rgb(253, 253, 253); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); cursor: pointer;">https://lyon-lib.libcal.com/event/5608025?hs=a</a></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin: 0px; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: calibri, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0px; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;">A zoom link will be emailed to you once you have registered.</span></p></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(253, 253, 253);" data-mce-style="color: #000000; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #fdfdfd;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(253, 253, 253);" data-mce-style="color: #000000; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #fdfdfd;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;">Hope you can join us!
