The Oneida Indian Reservation overlaps the northeastern part of Outagamie county and the northwestern part of Brown county. (Maps)
Tracking your Oneida Ancestors is further complicated by the split and
subsequent migration of separate Oneida bands out of New York. A number of
Oneida moved from New York to Wisconsin between 1820 and 1838. Other Oneida
moved from New York to Ontario between 1839 and 1845. At the end of this
migration period, some 200 Oneida remained on their New York homelands.
Knowing where to go for the information you seek before you begin your trip,
makes the job of researching easier. Fellow researchers are urged to submit
additional Oneida Genealogy sources to the email address at the bottom of this
page. Special thanks to Joyce Willingham for spending hours transcibing tribal
census rolls for this site for the benefit of other researchers!
