UPDATED 31 MARCH 2002
Below
are some of the Birth Announcements, Birthday Notices and Adoptions 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.
