Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the question, but I think it could be 'Romeo, Romeo, Wherefore art thou Romeo'?
Hi...I have just thought about your question and think that you might mean the clan motto for the Montague family, but there are several branches of the clan so you would need to find out more about the part of the family that you wish to know more about.
The 'wherefore' here means why rather than where. What Juliet is asking, in allusion to the feud between her Capulet family and Romeo's Montague clan, is 'Romeo, why are you a Montague?'. Their love is impossible because of their family names and she asks him to change his allegiance, or else she will change hers.

Markham. I am sure that we are all interested in your saying and we are all trying to help. If you have enlightened yourself then can you let us know, as your question is worded so ambiguously that it is really difficult to give further suggestions. Thanks
