Drogo de Monte-Acuto

I have worked for many years compiling my family history. Although every entry in my family records has been entered by hand and all data has been checked for accuracy, discrepancies are inevitable. I therefore request that anyone finding any discrepancies in my records please make me aware of them. I will verify them against available research materials and make corrections where warranted. This will make my family records even better and more accurate. Thank You.
If you have always wanted to trace your roots but didn't know exactly where to begin, may I suggest the following steps. First collect all of the information that you can from your relatives. Next find the nearest Mormon Church with a Family History Center and get the LDS PAF Family History program from them and then join their PAF Users Group. Then join an online service. Then visit various genealogy related Web Sites.After collecting as much information as I could from my family I visited our local LDS Family History Center. I soon discovered a Book written by George William Montague which had been copied on microfilm by the LDS. It is called "History and Genealogy of Peter Montague of Nansemond and Lancaster Counties, Virginia, and His Descendants 1621-1894". LDS Microfilm #0928298. It traced my Montague ancestors from, Drogo de Monte-Acuto and William the Conquorer, to my Grandfather, Fielding Montague. WOW!!! What a find. I then visited the CompuServe Genealogy forum, "GO ROOTS", and found a GEDCOM matching service. I submitted my growing GEDCOM file and was rewarded with hundreds of matches. Contacting many of those with name matches I discovered an unknown cousin in California with whom I am planning a visit. I have also visited many cemetaries and court houses over the past several years. They provide a wealth of information. I hope this small bit of shared information will help you trace your roots. HAPPY HUNTING!!!

The CRAWFORD - MILLER REUNION of 2006

The Crawford and Miller families will be hosting their biannual reunion on 15 July 2006 at the Col. William Crawford homestead, which is located next to Youghiogheny Park in Connellsville, PA where there are pavilions, sanitary facilities, playgrounds and swimming. All relatives of the Crawford and Miller families are invited to attend. It is a covered dish event and travelers from afar do not need to worry about what to bring, soda, chips, or paper products are some items that travel well. We always have a mystery auction to raise the money needed for our expenses, so bring an inexpensive wrapped item to auction. You may inquire by e-mail , or call Skiles Montague at 941/752-8970. Please mark your calendar and we look forward to seeing you.
