Please note that births were not recorded in any registry before the
1850's. Before that time, if a Mohawk relative was a Christian, a search
at the local community church is your best bet. Further searches at the
surrounding libraries may link a relative to the Mohawk bloodline if that
marriage was recorded into another familiy. However, this is not a guarantee
that registration as a Mohawk member will be immediate. Documents such
as marriage and birth certificates will be need to be produced and verified.
