Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma

the goins surname is a challenge. there were some in texas too. goings, goins, going, many possible variations.

do you have the enrollment application,, census card and testimony for both william and ada?

no year in the post. this is making it difficult to search because these names are common. we use county names rather than city names because records are usually at the county level.

the other family trees didn’t have this census record. one of them had a different record with a william in the family but the dates were not correct for him.

this census record gives his place of birth as arkansas but the family tree says TN. anyway, you should write to others who have family trees and find out what documentation they have,, trade facts and stories.

Wondering if we might be related in any way. My great grandmother was Elizabeth Goins. She had a brother that is on the Dawes Roll at the same time as she registered that was named Hampton.
