TRIBAL CENSUS:

The ages in the following census card compared with the birthdates provided by the US census of 1900 indicate that it was prepared about 1900. It is card number 44. The introduction of "Index to the Cherokee Rolls" (Valorie Millican, 2002) states that the "Cherokee by Blood ages were calculated to September 1, 1902.", but here that does not seem to be the case.
