Hi, I am looking for information on a Charles P. Barbier, who married into the Yankton Sioux tribe in South Dakota. He is my ancestor and was born in France in 1833 (according to various sources either Besancon or Abbeville). He was Protestant and claimed to have survived a massacre of Protestants in his village and then his family moved to Paris. He was accompanied to America by two siblings including one sister named Louise. His father served in Napoleon's army (so it is said in our family stories) and could not follow his son to America because he would lose his army pension.
