Michele, Thanks for your reply. I guess I should not have relied on my distant cousin's correct naming of the county of his ancestor's birth. I will write him on the off chance there is/was an Overbrook in Nowata County. Your advice on how to cite the place of birth makes good sense and I wills save it as a model for similar scenarios.

Barton, One thing, Overbrook shows to be in present day Love County which is nowhere near Nowata. I have never done research in OK before so maybe there are two Overbrooks but Animap confirms this. According to Animap, Overbrook was in the Pickens District within the Chickasaw Nation in 1892. This is way in the south. Cooweescoowee District is in the north. So how would I do the location? I would put Overbrook, Pickens District, Chickasaw Nation There is a Rootsweb page for Pickens District here http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~itpicken/ It too lists Overbrook. Michele Technical Support [email protected] www.legacyfamilytree.com From: Barton Lewis [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, November 15, 2014 9:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] Oklahoma! I was entering the birth date of a distant cousin, born in Overbrook, Nowata County, Oklahoma in 1892, according to a descendant’s tree on Ancestry. When inputting this into Legacy, it told me that Nowata County was not founded till 1907. So I googled Oklahoma counties and found that Nowata’s parent entity was “Cooweescoowee District of Cherokee Nation;” how do I list this person’s birthplace? Is there an explanation on the web as to how to cite Indian lands in Oklahoma that did not become U.S. counties till the 1910s or thereabouts? This is not the first time I have come across this problem.
