Genealogical Discoveries

Recent findings, new family tree branches, never-before-seen photos…

Found lots of family graves in West Virginia:  Seventh Day Baptist Cemetery in Salem, and Masonic Memorial Park and Blockhouse Cemetery in West Union.

I’ve uncovered some more source material regarding my great-grandmother Laura Maud (Walker) Montgomery and her entry into the asylum in Pueblo. Colorado.

Check out “Ken and Melissa’s Family History Website,” a genealogy web page created by descendants of Mary Edna (Mamie) Montgomery Kimble, sister of Lawrence Theodore (L.T.) Montgomery.  Ken and Melissa’s page includes a photo of Charles William and Laura Maud (Walker) Montgomery and their daughters (before L.T. and his brothers were born).
