Uncle Sam
 
Please help! This site is only as useful as you make it! Volunteers are needed in the following areas:
Lookup Volunteers - If you have Missoula County materials such as local history books or an old yearbook or business directory- a lookup now and then would be immensely helpful. Give me your ideas here! We would really like to post a transcription from an old Missoula City Directory
Courthouse or Library Research Can you do a lookup at the courthouse or library from time to time? Some people do this as volunteers and some charge a fee - just let me know how to post it.
Indexers Are you willing to index the surnames of a local history? If you are - we will be glad to post them (and give you credit, of course).
Cemetery Transcribers How about taking your daily walk through a local cemetery and transcribing it? Take a clipboard or a tape recorder - you'll be amazed at how interesting and enjoyable this project is.
Vital Records Transcribers If you would like to transcribe early vital records, I will be glad to post them. You will own the copyright on the transcription and will get credit on this site.
Obituary Posting We need someone to play "cut and paste" and post the obituaries from your local newspapers onto our GenConnect boards.
Old Miscellaneous Documents Do you have old letters or stories that pertain to this county? Send em in!
Vintage Photos Yep! I will post them too. Places or vintage people. Just scan in photos and save them as a .jpg file and attach them to an email to me with details. No recent people photos, please. Recent scenery or buildings are fine.
Census Transcribers If you would like to help transcribe Federal or State Census records for posting on the internet, I will post them!

The Missoula Public Library has data for the following counties in western Montana: Missoula, Mineral, Granite, Ravalli, Lake, Lincoln, and Sanders. The Western Montana Genealogical Society houses their collection at the Missoula Public Library. We have a committee that helps answer the queries. You are welcome to send them to me. We created our files to do this. There may be a bit of wait as we receive MANY queries through our Society's mail, Roots-L, Library mail and e-mail, the Montana State Genealogical Society, etc. Check out the Missoula Public Library's website under genealogy. We have listed SOME of the records that we have to check. We do not have census tapes in our library. They are available at the University of Montana's Mansfield Library and our local Family History Center has the Montana films as well. If the information is not here, I may know where it is.
