New & Improved NGWAs the host of the Nipissing District GenWeb I wanted to update finally the entire site. The transformation
was long overdue and I believe that as I add new links and info the site will only get better!
I would like this
page to be a collaboration of everyone in the Nipissing District doing research so I am hoping that anyone with info about
the Nipissing District or about their families history in the Nipissing area will help out by contributing. One never knows
when a link to another will happen!
Thank you again to everyone for their support over this past years despite
my falling behind on the website and it's updates! I hope to do a better job of keeping the site updated this year!
(So everyone knows Sept 2009 will be my 3rd year hosting)
Happy New Year to all!
Your host,
A. Vander Waal

Thanks to everyone for being so supportive of my efforts to keep Nipissing
GenWeb up and running smoothly.
With this past year bringing so much outside work and travels it has been hard
for me to keep up with all that I WANT to do on the website but although I haven't had as much time as I'd like to
I have not forgotten about it nor have have I stopped looking for new resources. Updates are little more sparse due to the
fact I've gone back to work but I will post new information and requests as I can and just hope everyone will be patient
with me as I do so.
I acquired a book I believe may help direct people to
more discoveries: INDEX TO COBALT DAILY NUGGET: 1909-1914. There is a surname list for the book here. If you would like me to do a lookup in this periodical for you please email me. I'm very busy right now
but I will certainly do my best to get back to you quickly. The periodical has Births, Marriages and Deaths from around Nipissing
District so it is a wealth of information for sure.
I'm here to
help where and when I can so if you have any questions please feel free to email me anytime. I may be able to help with some brickwall questions as I have some contacts willing to help out through
me. If you would need a little help I can search Births, Marriages and Deaths through ancestry but it will need to be a limited
search, specific names only. So have a look through the site and good luck in your research!
