Hey all, My mother and I have been thinking about driving up to Montgomery Co, IN for a weekend to do some family research. Our Stump and Bunker family lines came to Southern Illinois from Montgomery Co. I have been unable to find much out about my Stump family especially. I have used the local library here in my home county extensively, and have found more there than I have been able to find online. My question is: would a trip there be worth the time and miles? Is there a local library/historical society that would have local records? How accessible is birth/marriage/death/tax records? Are these places open on the weekend? Thank you for your help! Erin Ragsdale
Others will speak more knowledgeably about Montgomery Co resources, but just a brief mention that some Stump families were Church of the Brethren. See the Brethren list or go to cobnet.org.

Erin -- if you have a lot of family here, do indeed come to the local library however make sure you check thoroughly their online databases as you might find what you need there OR on the GenWeb site - both below http://www.cdpl.lib.in.us/databases <http://www.cdpl.lib.in.us/databases> http://indianagenweb.com/inmontgomery/ On 9/1/2015 2:23 PM, s.m.mills via wrote: > Others will speak more knowledgeably about Montgomery Co resources, but just a brief mention that some Stump families were Church of the Brethren.
