since i don’t know if this is your relative, i have to stop searching.
genealogists use names, dates, locations, children and spouses to match records. if
you have a common surname, you need to give more information rather than less. if
you post about women, it is helpful to include the maiden name and the married name
and designate which one is the maiden name.
first of all, heritage and tribal enrollment are two different things. many times
natives didn’t apply for enrollment because 1) they didn’t qualify, 2) they were
philosophically opposed to enrollment, 3) they didn’t have documentation, or 4) they
were mississippi choctaw and their ancestor had accepted land or benefits in lieu of
tribal enrollment.
the dawes roll was taken 1896-1906, so you should trace your ancestors down to that
time period. mostly, they had to be living in oklahoma by that time and agree to
live there permanently.

this book could be accessed through the interlibary loan program also.
always find the state archives. some records are online, some records are not. but
many times you can find a record not found in other places. you want to see also
about newspaper mentions for obituaries, births, marriages in particular.
check courts for probate, civil and criminal cases, marriage records.
this book is a good read about the dawes roll and how they implemented it.
