For the past several years the submitter has been indexing the obituaries on file at the Historical Society in Norristown. Although the entire obituary has not been retyped, the names are indexed, for all the individuals for whom they have the newspaper obit. For married women, the index includes both the married name and the maiden name. For example, for Cynthia (White) Smith, he indexed the name as Cynthia Smith as well as Cynthia White. Both surnames will be in the index under the first initial of the married surname Volunteers We are looking for volunteers to contribute contact and historical information for the churches of Montgomery county.
