I am always looking for additional biographies for Montgomery County. If you have a biography or written story about an ancestor, or an oral history that you would like me to help document, please contact me.
I am also working on finding a local teacher or community leader who will assign the Biography Project as an assignment to interview an older member of a students family or an older member of their church or community. This was done in another county and the results were wonderful.
