The 1889ers Society welcomes all people, but we give special distinction to those who are descendants of those who "made The Run of 1889" into the Oklahoma Territory. To qualify, you must know the legal description of the land your ancestors homesteaded. Now there's a new tool. The Oklahoma Genealogical Society has published a CD-ROM so you can just look in your computer to find the start of the trail of your ancestors. It provides Township, Range, Section and County of the land, as well as the Volume & Page of the tract books. Most importantly it is searchable by Last Name, First Name & Date of homestead. That's enough to become a Descendant Member and it's a good start for your genealogy study.
