Records found within these folders include, but are not limited to, genealogy charts tracing Rosewood family lineages; family trees and compiled genealogy booklets; correspondence and fax cover sheets between claimants and representatives such as Frank M. Beisler and Gregory Esquire; memoranda and transmittal reports; vital records including birth and death certificates; affidavits and property affidavits; claims documentation such as Rosewood Claims Bill checklists, notes, and claims information forms; legal notices; and supporting documents used to establish lineage and eligibility for compensation.
