Many of us will have looked for and been lucky enough to find a mention of an ancestor in a local newspaper. If you have obtained a copy of the page on which the announcement appeared, it will probably be surrounded by a few other announcements.
Please help this small collection of transcriptions to grow, by submitting a few of those for which you have copies, or at least submitting the names that appear, so as to build an index to the announcements appearing in local newspaper archives.
