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.

Eligibility & Instructions Use the e-mail address above to get the  link.

  • 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 person’s 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.
