County research...

Difficulty Level - 5

Researching in Converse County WY is not an easy task. The State of Wyoming has chosen to 'protect' its vital records for a very long time.

But all is not lost! There are many resources available to researchers and hopefully I will be able to identify them for you here. And if you see I am missing something, please send me a message!

Being a County or State Administrator is fun and rewarding. If you have an interest in the history of Wyoming and the genealogy of it's residents please consider it. If you think "there is no way I can do this" there are many people ready, willing and able to help you. It's not near as difficult as you might think.
