What happens after you write

Your request goes directly to the Foundation team. We review where you are in your journey — whether that's the first family conversation or a found enrollment card — and respond with concrete next steps: where to search, what to order, what your documents mean, and how to proceed with re-identification.

Before you write, if you can

Run a first search at okhistory.org/research/dawes and note any names or roll numbers you find. It isn't required — but it gives us a head start on guiding you.
