First Families and Early Settlers of Montana, Volumes I and II

Montana to Montana State Genealogical Society to First_Families_and_Early_Settlers_of_Montana,_Volumes_I_and_II $$

The Montana State Genealogical Society has published pioneer books, submitted by descendants, titled First Families and Early Settlers of Montana, Volumes I, and II. 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.
