General note
The numbers associated with each file name for example: 1/2: Alberty, George, R-350. 1902, 1905, all have specific meanings.
The 1 states that this file is located in the first (and only box) of the Cherokee Freedmen Collection. The 2 indicates that it is the second file in the collection.
R-350 is the case number created by the Commission to the Five Civilized Tribes to identify the case of George Alberty within their filing system. The R possibly stands for Rejected. There are many other files in the collection that have a number associated with it that starts with a D. The D stands for Doubtful. Meaning that after the initial testimony of the applicant, they were listed on a doubtful card while they continued the investigation.
1902 and 1905 are the years in which the documents in George Alberty's file were written.
