Genealogical workshop in Wyandotte to focus on Native Americans
WYANDOTTE, Okla. -
*Webmasters
note: Also includes information on Volume 1 of the Ottawa County Families
project.*
A Native American genealogical workshop
will be presented by Gregath Co. of Wyandotte Oct. 25-26 at
the Wyandotte Nation Tribal Center, focusing on Native American history and
research.
On Friday, the workshop will start with
a beginning genealogy session conducted by members of the Continental Society
Daughters of Indian Wars to get beginners off on the right foot. The
session will run from 2-4 p.m.
Following a dinner break, a Native
American forum will take place from 7-9 p.m. A moderated panel discussion
of various tribal representatives, the forum will include brief histories,
followed by questions and answers.
The goal of the session is not to
provide specific information on how to become a new tribal member, but to
address useful historical and genealogical information for all Indians and
researchers.
The keynote speaker on Saturday will be
William Welge, Director of the Oklahoma Historical Society Archives. A
published author, Welge has been with the Society since 1977, and is responsible
for the storage of holdings and continual development of research materials.
The cost of the two-day workshop is
$25, with reservations made before Oct. 15, and includes sourcebook,
refreshments, door prizes and a Native American lunch on Saturday. Entry
at the door without reservations is $35 and does not include the lunch.
Vendors will also be available with
books and other Native American items.

The workshop is part of a series of
events designed to educate and assist researchers in their genealogical
pursuits.
A new book, "Ottawa County,
Oklahoma Families," is now ready for production. The compilers,
Fredrea Cook, rural Miami, and Carrie Ann Cook, rural Fairland, have undertaken
an ongoing project to preserve and share as much local history as possible.
The book includes information about
Ottawa County families, submitted by family members. Additional
information about some families who lived in what became Ottawa County has also
been included in this book in the form of family names appearing on some Native
American tribal rolls.
The book includes family information,
photos, some tribal information and an index.
