Introduction to all of this

This site will try to keep family members appraised as to what might be happening in our families- - might be something, might be nothing. When I use the term "family" I am not referring to just the Montgomery or Noon lines but others as well. The name of the game here is genealogy in it’s broadest definition and there is just no telling where this might go.

You might also notice the name. One might consider this nothing more that a continuation of the old Roots and Branches newsletter which I published a few years back - stopped after a couple of years due to a lack of info. But, I still have a few items which I will try to do something with. Most will not be published on this site as such but will go on the CD (as outlined below).

One of the major items to be discussed is the various family CDs which I hope to have completed within a reasonable time frame. The biggest delaying factor is the production of usable photographs, either by scanner or camera copy. The first of these, on Dana’s Noon family, is already out and contains some 800 photos of individuals as well as genealogies, documents and the like. Coming next will be my Evans clan as well as a Montgomery, and Olding/Hofer endeavor and others. If you would like to receive a copy of the Noon CD please contact me at tommontgomery@cox.net for details. As for the others I will be posting a message when they might be available - stay tuned. You might wish to check in occasionally for details on this as well as "what’s happening" around the families.

Please let me know of any family "happenings" so it can be posted here - there are many family members who want to know what is going on but are "out of the loop".
