FIRST FAMILIES & EARLY SETTLERS of MONTANA
Volume III THIS IS THE VOLUME YOU SEND TO NOW.
The Montana State Genealogical Society has issued First Families of Montana certificates to direct descendants of the very first residents who arrived prior to statehood, November 8, 1889, and to direct descendants of the Early Settlers of Montana who arrived between November 9, 1889 and December 31, 1929. Many of these later pioneers were the homesteaders who have gone unnoticed in Montana's history. This is our way of gathering information about them and sharing it with you through a future publication of the Montana State Genealogical Society.

- Many of the early years deaths in Montana were not recorded either locally, or state registered.
The earliest death in this file was recorded in 1882. Until a formal system was established well after for reporting, the information about a personâs death often went unreported. In looking for an ancestor in these early years, the best sources are diaries, cemetery & grave records, biographies of either the individual, relative or a friend, bibles and news papers.
