Terra, After reading your posting carefully, I am getting a few ideas. Appears your Montana family includes your grandparents. I'd said "let's compare grandparents' names". Your granparents may not be quite far enough back. Try discussing with them who your Parchen great-grandparents were: first names; grt. grandma's maiden name if possible; their approximate birth years. It is possible you are part of the family descended from three brothers that first settled around Chicago. This is a stretch, but I believe they had descendants that went to the Dakotas. Very possibly, since that was a "terrritory" back then, the part of Dakotas they went to became state of Montana?? I'm stretching, I really don't know enough about that part of American historic geography to dream up such a theory. But, maybe!!!
