IMPORTANT NEWS FOR CLINE RESEARCHERS!
The late Malcolm Cline kindly donated to us his research on the Cline family, collected over many years. You are invited to come and research your family here. Mr. Cline has also given us a limited number of copies of a beautiful, professionally printed Cline Family Tree. The document measures 42" by 58" -perfect for the wall of your office or family room. To order your copy, please get in touch with Grimsby Archives. The family tree is $20; postage and handling may be $15 to $20 depending on where you live, so a personal visit to the Archives would be to your advantage.

NEWS FOR NELLES RESEARCHERS Through the generosity of donors, Grimsby Archives now has a large number of photocopied pages of Robert Nelles documents from the National Archives in Ottawa, and Henry Nelles papers from the Provincial Archives in Toronto, as well as two reels of microfilm. Please come and see this material.

We also have some lovely colour posters of the Nelles family crest, available for $10 each plus postage.

Grimsby Archives has received a donation of material from the estate of the late Ada Bromley who was a founding member of the Grimsby Historical Society and the Hamilton Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society. Mrs. Bromley had a wide range of interests, and her files include material on genealogy, the United Church, the IODE, and the Grimsby Historical Society. As an dedicated member of the Board of Education, she collected information on the developments in education in the 1940s, 50s and 60s, with special emphasis on teachers's salaries. This collection may be of interest to anyone researching this aspect of education during the period mentioned.

We hope to keep growing so that we can conserve and preserve as much as possible of our town's past.
