Illustrated view over surveyed farmland parcels divided by section-line roads under a deep navy sky at golden hour Allotment land was laid out in surveyed parcels. Your report maps your ancestor’s parcel.

Who this is for

For families who want the record, plain and clear

Descendants of Freedmen of the Five Tribes who want to know where their family’s allotment land was, and what became of it.

How it works

Four steps. No appointments, no interviews.

You share what your family kept. We search the records and send the report to your inbox.

  1. Choose your report

    Choose the Snapshot or the Full Report.

  2. Upload what you have

    Upload photos or scans of anything you have: family records, names, dates, places.

  3. We search the records

    We search Dawes Rolls, allotment, and public land records, matching on several life markers, never on a name alone.

  4. Your report arrives by email

    Your report arrives by email: ancestor verification, the allotment’s legal description and map, what usually happened to land like theirs, and your next steps, including where to check for unclaimed money and royalties.

Pricing

Two reports. One flat fee each.

Pick the depth you need. Both reports are written in plain language, with every match labeled by how strong the evidence is.

Our promise

Our promise — You pay for a result. If we can't identify your ancestor or their allotment, you don't pay: a full refund. If we ever match the wrong person, we will correct your report or refund you, your choice; write to us within 30 days of delivery. Every report we do deliver is final sale. Questions or refund requests: makeitplainenterprises@gmail.com

What this is — and is not

Honest about what a report can do

A research report, not a promise

A research report, not a promise of land or money. Every match is labeled verified, probable, or lead.

Verified Probable Lead

We do not file legal claims

We do not file legal claims. Where a claim may exist, your report tells you when to bring in an attorney.

Why families trust this work

Built from a real family search

Our founder traced her own family’s Choctaw Freedmen allotments through these same records: a great-grandfather’s 40 acres plus 20, found and documented.

Evidence first: a match is only called verified when several life markers line up, never a name alone.

No interviews, no appointments. Upload what you have, and we take it from there.
