<h4 class="ql-align-justify"><strong style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">The entire census covers the eight years between 1915 and 1922&nbsp;and is based on a microfilm copy of a typescript originally on file at the&nbsp;National Archives in Washington, D.C.&nbsp;The census itself concerns the&nbsp;Eastern&nbsp;Band of Cherokee Indians from Cherokee, North Carolina, living on the&nbsp;reservation known as the Qualla Boundary. Individuals enumerated in the census&nbsp;are descendants of the Cherokees who were not removed to Indian Territory&nbsp;during&nbsp;the period 1838-1839 in the migration known as the Trail of Tears. While&nbsp;there&nbsp;is sometimes additional data, information provided in the census almost&nbsp;invariably gives the individual's name, family relationship, date of birth, and&nbsp;sex--information that is critical in any genealogical research. In some cases,&nbsp;the Indian Agent also compiled Cherokee birth and death dates or the names of&nbsp;children living apart from their parents.</strong></h4><p><br></p>
