The Montgomery Genealogical Society Quarterly
(MGSQ)
Invitation for Members to Submit their Stories
We would like to invite our members who did not get their family stories into the Montgomery County Heritage Book to submit them to us for publishing in our Quarterly. Please send your stories to our MGS Quarterly editor, Pat Veazey, at (ljnicoll81@charter.net ).
The MGSQ, published since the Winter of 1994, has approximately 30 pages in each issue, making records available to the public in many areas: indexes and abstracts of wills, marriages, church records, land records, family Bibles, locations of "lost" towns and crossroads, early migration routes into the state, military records (including Revolutionary soldiers who settled in Alabama), histories of pioneer families, computer genealogy, queries and much more. Various records from the ADAH are being abstracted and published in the MGSQ -- an invaluable source for researchers who are unable to visit in person. Each issue of the MGSQ has a full name index. Presently, member volunteers are conducting a county-wide cemetery survey with computer-indexing for greater accessibility. This survey is being printed in the MGSQ and will be published in book form at a later date.
