UPDATED 31 DEC 2002
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 a portion of it was
cut off by accident, when the page was copied.
I have highlighted the families (the ones that I know of), which are
connected to ours by using Bold Type. In brackets
(after the item), is the date the article was placed in the newspaper.
I’ve been working on this quite a bit, so don’t be surprised if you
find some typo’s. Good luck in
your search.
