  1. My great great grandfather John W. O’Connell was stationed in Sitka, AK, in the late 1860s and early 1870s. Which fort would he have been at? He was in the US Army and sent from San Francisco to Sitka, AK, after the US purchased the land from Russia in 1867. Two of my ancestors were born while their parents were stationed there, one in 1869 and the other in 1870.
    Are there any surviving records from that fort? If so, where are they stored? I’d love to see anything that had to do with my GG grandtfather’s time there. I’d also love to see any birth or baptismal records for my two ancestors that were born there but, to date, I have been unable to locate any. I’d appreciate any advice or information anyone could give me.

    Thank you,
    Carol Hokana
