MONTGOMERY COUNTY NY GENWEB

Genealogy & History

Hello there! You've discovered the Montgomery County NY GenWeb page, part of the New York GenWeb and the US GenWeb Project!

ABOUT US! This deep and detailed site was formerly one half of Herkimer/Montgomery NYGenWeb, a county site of the USGenWeb Project that came on line in September 1996. We are not affiliated with any historical society or library. The depth of our resources after 20+ years is due to the time, effort and caring given by many typing volunteers to help their fellow researchers. Dozens of generous contributors have sent us information, tips and pointers to superb historical resources, and great feedback. Our genealogical offerings are only as good as our visitors' input. If you'd like to contribute some copyright-free resources, volunteer to assist in typing up or coding more material, or are interested in becoming a town editor, please contact the Site Coordinator. Don't let the "paper wrapping" fool you - this is a deep GenWeb site, offering hundreds of files of great articles as well as many photos. Enjoy exploring our free resources, and happy ancestral hunting!
