UNKNOWN NEWSPAPERS

Below
are some of the BMD’s, and miscellaneous Newspaper Items which I have come
across while looking through family photo albums and bibles as well as from
correspondence from other researchers. 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, or part
of the article is missing from when someone originally cut it out of the
newspaper. 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.
