THE

THE PERTH COURIER NEWSPAPER

Perth, Drummond Twp., Lanark Co., Ontario, Canada. 

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.
