Paulette K. Parpart, Librarian
301 E. Main Street
Missoula, MT 59802
email: parpart@missoula.lib.mt.us 		The Missoula Public Library has data for the following counties in western Montana: Missoula, Mineral, Granite, Ravalli, Lake, Lincoln, and Sanders. The Western Montana Genealogical Society houses their collection at the Missoula Public Library. We have a committee that helps answer the queries. You are welcome to send them to me. We created our files to do this. There may be a bit of wait as we receive MANY queries through our Society's mail, Roots-L, Library mail and e-mail, the Montana State Genealogical Society, etc. Check out the Missoula Public Library's website. We have listed SOME of the records that we have to check. We do not have census tapes in our library. They are available at the University of Montana's Mansfield Library and our local Family History Center has the Montana films as well. If the information is not here, I may know where it is.
                  Sincerely, Paulette K. Parpart, Library Technician
Jim Manley
jmanley@aledobb.com 		I am a native of Granite County, MT, but, unfortunately, do not live there any more. I've been in Texas since 1982 but I do go back to visit every year or so. I live near Fort Worth so I have access to the National Archives records center there.

I have two census CDs for Montana now and can do looks on them. One is for the 1920 Census (T625 Roll 971 covering Flathead, Glacier, Garfield, Granite and Hill counties) and the 1870 Census for the entire territory.
Karen Palmer
pugsly@blackfoot.net 		I live in Drummond but work in Philipsburg at the Courthouse. I would like to volunteer for any type of look-ups there. I have access to many births and deaths records in the Courthouse, beginning 1898. I would be happy to look up any of these that I could.
