Our membership is open to all who share an interest in genealogy and family history research. While our name includes our Longmont, CO location our scope is whereever in the world our ancestry may have originated. Check the information we have posted and see if it may be of help to you in your research. Whatever the original location of your family, we have information, experience and sources to share that may assist you. And, if you have family wth Longmont origins, please check out the info under the Longmont Research tab.
