Greetings Fam,
My first cousin is doing research on our ancestry, and they found out that one of our Great-Grandfathers appeared on the Oklahoma and Indian Territory Census Roll 1851-1959 (under the Choctow Nation). It was always rumored that my family had land in Louisiana that "somehow" disappeared.
Well, we found out that our Great-Grandfather was the person who had this land. It was 160 acres. We're currently trying to find out if he sold the land, if he was swindled out of it, or if it was taken by the government.
If any of you have been through this, or down this road; any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank in advance...
