Frequently Asked Questions
Q. I'm researching my family tree. What genealogy information is available from IHS?
A. The Indian Health Service is a federal agency that doesn't collect genealogical data on our patient clients, so we can't be of much help to you in that area.
One source you might check is the Bureau of
Indian Affairs - some information is available at http://www.doi.gov/ancestry.html . Due to various legal issues, however, this site's accessibility may vary.
Your best bet would be to contact directly the tribe(s) in question. A list
of mailing addresses and phone numbers for tribes in the Nashville Area may
be found in our Tribal Directory. Web
sites for tribes in the Nashville Area may be found at http://www.usetinc.org/defaultpage.cfm?ID=18 .
Q. Where can I find downloadable copies of documents or presentations?
A. All documents, presentations, files, etc. available for download on
this site are accessible via the Document and File Library. A link to this document
archive is accessible via the toolbar on the left side of each web page in this
site.
