Congratulations Oklahoma on 100 Years in 2007! 
The 1889ers Society Celebrated Our Centennial in 2005 !
The 1889ers Society was founded in 1905 by people who made The Oklahoma Land Run of 1889 which opened the Oklahoma Territory for settlement. It is continued by our descendants and friends. Descendant Members of The 1889ers Society are direct lineal descendants of the pioneers who made the great Oklahoma Land Run of 1889 as well as those interested in Oklahoma history. Membership in The 1889ERS Society is open to all Friends of Oklahoma!

Find Your Ancestors

The 1889ers Society welcomes all people, but we give special distinction to those who are descendants of those who "made The Run of 1889" into the Oklahoma Territory.  To qualify, you must know the legal description of the land your ancestors homesteaded. Now there's a new tool.  The Oklahoma Genealogical Society has published a CD-ROM so you can just look in your computer to find the start of the trail of your ancestors. It provides Township, Range, Section and County of the land, as well as the Volume & Page of the tract books.  Most importantly it is searchable by Last Name, First Name & Date of homestead.   That's enough to become a Descendant Member and it's a good start for your genealogy study.

It costs $20 and is well worth it!

To 1889ERS:

I received this message from Cher Golding and thought there might be someone in our organization who could help out. I spent a day in April helping with the kids. Yes, I was tired but it was fun.

Sincerely, June C. Stone
President, The 1889ers Society

Here is the letter from Cher Golding

Dear Harn Friends,
We have so much going on at the Harn Homestead this June and could really use assistance with welcoming visitors, answering the phones, and assisting with tours of the Harn House June 10-19 from 10 am – 1pm. 
 
Leslie Creason had surgery last week and will be out of the office all next week.  Randy Burghart will be on vacation June 10-19.  Also, Melessa Gregg has given notice.  She is expecting her fifth child and will be taking time off until next Spring to raise her new baby. 
 
Several day cares are bringing between 65-100 children these days.  Sha and I will be busy conducting the educational programs and fear that our tours will suffer without additional help.  If you can’t assist us, please pass this along to your friends/family/co-workers.
 
Thank you.
