Hello to everyone in PAMONTGO! My name is Fred McCarty and I currently live in the Tidewater area of Virginia. I was born and raised in Norristown,MONTGO, Pa. After retiring from the Navy we settled in the Tidewater area. All of my immediate family live in the area also -- (3) children, (5) grandchildren, hence this is home now. However, my roots are in Montgomery Co.. Pa. and there is a lot I do not know about my ancestors, maternal and paternal, therefor I'm searching my grandparents surnames MCCARTY & RUBERY. Both sets of grandparents live in Norristown in the early 1900s. I never knew my grandmothers and both grandfathers had passed away by the time I entered elementary school. My ggrandparents are a complete mystery to me except for the word of mouth knowledge that McCarty came from Ireland and Rubery came from UK Oh, yes RUBERY spent some time in an orphanage in England and later served as an indentured servant to a cabinet maker. I'm relatively new at Genealogy (3 mos.) I look forward to learning from the expert knowledge and experience of the folks on this list. I hope to progress to the point where I may be of service to others in this same capacity. Sincerely, Fred Awktc@aol.com
