Undergoing MAJOR Renovation |
|
The entire database, except for the living, has now been uploaded to
WorldConnect, which enables me to manage the information about many more
families with considerably less time and effort. The Family Charts
previously-posted here are being converted to researchers' pages, focusing on
families that were in the Luther area during Territorial Days. These pages don't contain all of the extended family and downlines
that are in the WorldConnect database but rather are designed to help
researchers working on related lines to find each other. |
|
In the
meantime, the Search function and the index below provide access to both old-style family charts and
new-style researchers' pages. To explore the database itself, just click on smc. |

Searching
You can search this site for all references to a full name or surname, which
is especially helpful for the Original Homesteaders and the Heads of Household
listed on the 1900 census. This will also pick up any tidbits we might have
posted about individual family members.
Or you can jump to our World Connect database smc
and use their Search feature to find thousands of individuals for whom
nothing has been posted directly to this site. Ancestors. Descendants.
Families we can place in the area between 1889 and 1907 but can't tie to other
families.

Using the Index |
|
If Search doesn't turn up the individual you are looking for, please remember
that many of the records used are handwritten and some copies are almost
unreadable. Transcription errors are probably quite common. I use
the following index pages in maintaining the links from this site to
WorldConnect. They may help you find names transcribed in error or recorded with
spelling variations, but some of these pages take a long time to load so our
search and that of WorldConnect are better places to start. |

|
Who is Indexed?
 |
The Head of the Family. Usually this is a homesteader, early settler, or businessman - but sometimes it is the common ancestor of related ones. |
 |
Some who link the Founding Families by marriage. |
|
|
Who is Included in the Reports but not in this Index? |
|
Family members who did not make the move to Oklahoma Territory, those who married outside the community or into families whose
pages are not yet ready, and those born after Statehood. The genealogy reports contain
many people who do not appear in the table and the WorldConnect database
contains thousands more. |
|
Who is not Included? |
|
Unlike the reference lists, which are as complete as I can make them and thus
ready to accept links when family information becomes available, this page is
simply a tool I set up for managing the site and am now converting to manage my
contact list as well. It should serve as a convenient gateway to the family
reports, but it is a work in progress and [by its very nature] unlikely to ever
be complete. There are a number of families whose pages are in queue and simply haven't been included yet. |

Researchers
Looking for others who are working with the same lines? This new page
provides both e-mail addresses and links to their web sites. Still under
construction, but I hope to see it grow rapidly. Jump to Researchers'
Page. |
