Welcome to the Nipissing District GenWeb!
This site will be a continuing work in progress. I'd like to thank Doug McLaren for all his work on the previous Nipissing District GenWeb site. I know I used it on occasion myself so I'm truly appreciative for all his efforts!
With this 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 welath 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!
