Tribes award "Citizenship" in the Family - not a #.
You might begin here, to determine WHICH Tribe you want to apply to.

There are many Tribes. Some Federally recognized, some State recognized, some not officially recognized.
Each one has it's own requirements.
I think the Eastern Tribe of Cherokee is closed to applications, except in a few circumstances. But, I was able to obtain Cherokee Citizenship, for my Dad, in a smaller Tribe.
Best to you.

You can have a DNA test done to prove your part of a tribe.
There have been several people who have had to obtain the test to prove their heritage. Ask your local Health Department they should be able to help you.

I hate to tell you this, but our family had (and still has) this problem for about twenty years now. I don't think you can get a "role number" without birth records. Good luck, though!

I tried the peace pipe, rain dance and a trip to the medicine man and I am still waiting.
