Great, I could listen to her all day. Very informative.
I knew most of this from a novel I read about the Native Americans in Oklahoma. Can’t remember the title. Very good but sad.
I learned a lot about where to look for Native ancestry. Thank you.
I learned a lot more about Native American history than I did in college! Thanks for the info on where to find records, and for what the autosomal DNA results may mean.
I learned a lot, thanks.
I learned a lot…excellent presentation!
I learned so much about the history of Native Americans in this presentation; a sad history of how our government treated these people.
I was interested as there is documented Native American ancestry in my husband’s family. Thank you for such great information.
I really enjoyed the session!
I thought it was a very good overview of a broad look at the movement of Native Americans and the types of records available. Also, it was nice to see a “process” or strategy to use when trying to determine Native American ancestry.
I’m just starting this type of research and this was a great overview of the subject and resource recommendations. Will definitely watch again.
Informative. Looking forward to checking out the syllabus. I have a lot of work ahead of me.
Interesting presentation about a subject that I knew very little.
Interesting topic!
interesting with things I wasn’t aware of
It was EXCELLENT in the review of the Native Americans. As far as researching…..I guess I was looking for more detail of the HOW to research the various records (or indexes) and repositories she mentioned.
It was wonderful. Very informative.
Janice Lovelace is an excellent speaker. Enjoyed this webinar very much. Unfortunately for me the Native American in my family tree occurred in the late 1700’s and I have almost exhausted all avenues of proving she was Native American. Will explore newspapers per Janice’s advise.
Learned additional information as where to look for documents.
Lots of great information!
Nothing really new to me – but I have been doing genealogy for 40+ years. Not a reflection on the instructor.
resources listed are some new directions for my research thank you so much. history was great… my first webinar…. pre 1830 info I am still feeling stuck.
She did a good job.

Thanks for a great intro to Native American genealogical research!
The 3 ancestors thought to be Native American in 2 of my lines were in the 1700s and other than looking at local records, I didn’t see much. Thanks anyway for a good webinar.
The historical perspective that Dr. Lovelace provided was very informative. I thoroughly enjoyed the presentation. I don’t have any known Native American connections in my family tree, but the subject was intriguing.
The information about federal acts and where to find what types of records was useful. Personally, I wasn’t very interested in the first part of the presentation about where native peoples came from. Overall, I found it a valuable webinar.
The webinar was excellent — technically well done and the subject was clearly presented and very well covered. Thank you!
There were several points given about where to research that I had not considered.
Very clear and informative
Very good webinar. I really enjoyed it.

Documenting Native American Families in 19th and 20th Century Records
Native American ancestry is often perceived as a lineage difficult to trace. There are a number of records from public resources that reflect Indian communities, both large and small.

Following the Civil War, when nearly 200,000 African American men served, the U.S. Army established 4 African American infantry (later modified to 2) and 2 cavalry regiments in 1868. They initially served in the West but fought in the Spanish American War and the two World Wars in segregated units. It was not until 1948 that Executive Order 9981 integrated the military. What was life like for these soldiers? Where do you find service and pension records?
