Welcome to our family history website which is dedicated to the combined families, ancestors and descendants of James Curbow and Judy Montoya. Here you will be able to view stories, photographs and documents regarding our family which will hopefully bring the past alive to you. Genealogy is a labor of love and always a work in progress – I believe it will be a life long project.
I became interested in genealogy many years ago when my son (then still in elementary school) was required to prepare a family tree in connection with a school project. I was disappointed to realize how little I actually knew about the people and locations that formed our combined heritage. Thus began the journey of discovery.
The information contained on this website which pertains to our direct line ancestors has been researched, sourced and verified by me. Information pertaining to collateral lines may or may not have been verified. I strongly urge you to do your own due diligence.
This website contains my genealogy database and is fully searchable for your ease of use. The database presently contains information on 18,024 individuals, 5,901 separate families and 3,140 unique surnames. The data has been supplemented with 7,010 notes and 4,142 pieces of media, including photos, documents, histories, military records, obituaries and much more. I incorporate new data almost daily - so stop by often!
I hope you enjoy your time on this website!

The surnames that I am most actively researching include: Curbow; Ham; Atwood; Grantham (most of these families are from various southern states – who eventually settled in Texas); Montoya (New Mexico and Utah); Spencer, Gardner, Elmer (Mormon pioneers – most migrated from England to Utah); Geier and Lipsdorf (my German family).
If you have any questions, comments or suggested revisions, please feel free to contact me.
Here's how you can participate: If we have a family connection, I would welcome the opportunity to add your family to my ancestry database and document them with birth, marriage and death records along with their photographs or any other type of data that will help us fill in the gaps and break through brick walls. I look forward to hearing from you!
Note the icons  for photos and  for histories when they are available for an individual.
