GRIMSBY INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER

Grimsby, Grimsby Twp., Lincoln Co., Ontario, Canada

Below are some of the BMD’s, and miscellaneous Newspaper Items I have come across while researching my family tree. Some items were difficult to read, even with a magnifying glass, so I have added a “( )” or “?” around the letter, word or date that I am unsure of and have added what I think it looks like. If you see in brackets (rest was cut off) that just means, that when I was copying the page, I didn’t copy the whole thing, and cut off that particular item. You will have to check the microfilm, for the remainder of the information. I have highlighted the families (the ones that I know of), which are connected to ours by using Bold Type. Good luck in your search.
