When requesting a lookup please be specific on what names and records you desire a lookup on, and I will see what I can find. The Cherokee records are part of my private collection in my personal library, I do not obtain this information on-line so please don't write asking where on the internet I obtained my information.
Note: Please use the above search box provided for the Dawes Rolls to confirm an individual is present. For Guion Miller Rolls you may now search them on-line at the National Archives & Records Administration.
