By Peter E. Andersen These three volumes contain transcriptions of births, marriages and deaths taken from original newspapers and microfilm of surviving issues of The Lanark Era from 1895 to 1936. Also includes transcriptions regarding returning WWI soldiers, and many who did not. The Lanark Era did an exceptional job of publishing relevant information about early local families and also information about those who left Lanark. When volumes one and two were compiled, there were missing issues. Some years later, copies of the "missing issues" were discovered in a private collection. That enabled the third book in the series -- The Missing Years. The combined 3 volumes contain information on more than 45,000 individuals. More information

BOOK - Montague; A Social History of an Irish Ontario Township 1783-1980By Glenn J. Lockwood. When Montague was surveyed in the 1790s, it was intended to accommodate Loyalists and post-Loyalist settlers, to continue settlement started in the 1780s by the first caucasian settler on the Rideau, Roger Stevens. Montague's proximity to the military settlements at Perth, Beckwith, and Richmond attracted additional settlers inthe post 1812 decades; however it was the shock of mass Irish immigration during the 1830s through to the 1850s which gave the township its distinctive character by mid century. Lockwood employs extensive municipal records, archival material, family documents, newspapers, personal interviews and printed census data to explore the character of a township which has remained largely Irish in composition.
