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.
