Journals/records of preachers in Fort Laramie from 1850-1856

Jackie Call Jul 3, 2016 5:28 PM

I am looking for the records of the preachers that may have been in Fort Laramie and performed marriages at that time. I need documentation of my heritage and would like to search some of the journals of these preachers. I have an ancestor who was married and changed her name at that time. She was and American Indian and became Christian and took an English name.

You may need more specific information before getting started. Researching your American Indian heritage can be difficult. Here's a guide to get you started: https://www.archives.gov/research/native-americans/research-individual.html

Jackie,

Since Fort Laramie is a site operated by the National Park Service, I would contact Fort Laramie Historic Site directly: Contact Us - Fort Laramie National Historic Site (U.S. National Park Service)

Good luck in your search. Please keep us informed on what you come up with.
