What's New


****IMPORTANT NOTICE**** The site coordinator and assistant coordinator aren't county residents or professional researchers, and so we're unable to personally assist with your research. Please do not email us for any type of research assistance, or about places or historical information in the counties. Look around this large site for answers or links we've provided to all those who can really help you. For all inquiries about your family, items you don't see on this site, or specific historical questions, we refer you in advance to the local societies and libraries.

** NEW TO THIS SITE? Please Read Before You Email Us! **


IMPORTANT!!!!!!!! We've completed moving all Montgomery County files to a new server, but are still reorganizing. Manys links within our town pages and most footer links back to new main pages and other locations still won't work. You'll have quite a few "files not found" - they're not lost but are being carefully put back into new locations, so ***please don't email us that a link's not working for you***. Surnames and other specializecd submissions boards are currently not working, as we must find new services to provide these for us. We must change links and cross-links to files throughout the new Montgomery site to their new locations, re-install links to other websites, move files around, move files from one server to another, recode obsolete HTML code, and create new main entry pages. During this rebuilding process some of the back links at page bottoms won't work for some time, so please use your back-button. This is a BIGGER job than anticipated, and we appreciate your patience as we must most carefully make these changes. ALL of the same content for Montgomery County NYGenWeb and special features from the previous combined site will be available soon but we don't know how soon and can't give exact times and dates.


Just a reminder. The site coordinators are unable to respond to specific questions about their ancestors. Please use search engines such as google (which is what we'd have to do anyway), or direct all questions to societies and libraries listed on our historical articles page, or subscribe to a Rootsweb mailing list for your county of interest. What spare time we have to maintain this site is devoted to putting new information up /updating this site. All email asking for specific information will be deleted.
