Book excerpt: "[Dr. Emmet Starr's] work, "History of the Cherokee Indians and their legends and folklore" ..., devotes over 300 pages to Cherokee genealogy. Pages 303-476 of that book are entitled "Old families and their genealogy." This section contains the family trees of 37 prominent Cherokee families. ... it is not well know that many of his [Starr's] original notes are located at the Manuscript and Archives Division of the Oklahoma Historical Society. His notes for 21 of his 37 families are available there. ... many of the names in Starr's original records have a notation of a letter and number after their names. These notations refer to notes on those individuals. The notes are found in "letter books" using the letters A through L (excluding I). Each letter book has notes numbered 1 through 999 except for L where the notes end with number 309. ... These two volumes [v. 1 and 2] containing the "letter books" are the first in a series initiated to publish the entire genealogical tables compiled by Dr. Starr between 1892 and 1921. (volume 3, Grant family, however, was the first volume to be printed.) ..."--Foreward.
