Building on great things, Whitby Public library has launched its new Whitby Digital Newspaper Collection. The project was made possible by a generous anonymous donation. Containing 40 titles and 140 years of local news, the newspapers can be browsed and index records searched. Coming soon will be full text searching for the newspaper pages themselves! These papers are a genealogists’ delight, and a boon for anyone from or interested in the history of Whitby, Ontario.
Check out the collection here and don’t forget to explore the Whitby Images site as well, where more than 6000 photos, documents and more.
I am interested in Walter McGregor 1839- 1914 and his family. His parents?
There are two possible fathers for Walter, John McGregor 1805 – 1850
or John McGregor 1784.
