My Name is Phillip Henry. My Fathers name is Alfred M. Henry. His Fathers
Name is Robert Henry who's Father was Louis Henry. I descend from Childa
Atkins, a descendent of "Hole in the Day" and Ka ta wa be da. 

First thing.. my fathers info give father unknown.. his father was Robert Henry.

Second.. I am the 4th of 5 children and none of my siblings or myself are
listed on this index. We are enrolled in White Earth. I was wondering why we
are not listed?


Thank you very Much!

Hello Phillip Henry,

Sorry not to get back to you earlier.  We've added the information you sent - thank you very much.

The research was done mostly in the 1980s and 1990s, and it had to do with specific issues relating to Red Lake.  What's online in terms of the 'tribal rolls' for Red Lake is, at least within the limits of human beings transcribing documents accurately, everyone who was enrolled at Red Lake through 1958, when the enrollment criteria changed with Red Lake's 'acceptance' of the 1958 I.R.A. Base Rolls.

The information we included for White Earth stopped with the MCT Base rolls, partly because of the capacity of the computerized databases we were using at that time.

But - and we hadn't realized the full extent of it when putting the information online: genealogies are an important validation of identity ... so if people want to add information after our original 'cut off' dates, we've been doing it ... it probably also helps increase people's pride in being Indian, and community solidarity.

So, if you email me the information about you and your brothers, we'd be glad to add it.
