The Barrie Public Library in Simcoe County Ontario Canada has placed the Barrie Newspaper Index online:
http://news.ourontario.ca/barrie/
The index covers the period from 1847 to 1968 and includes almost 120,000 entries.
How to find Newspapers from other Ontario locations can be found at http://www.olivetreegenealogy.com/can/ont/npaper.shtml
Thanks for posting this. I just checked the Stiver last name. There were 4 - none who lived in Barrie so it will be useful for more than those who lived in Barrie or Simcoe County. As far as I know, must or all Stiver names in Ontario are connected.
ReplyDelete2 were for Lovell John Stiver in 1949 in Toronto; 1 for Martha Stiver in 1924 in Exeter
1 for W. Arthur Stiver in London, England.
Next time I am in Barrie, and time permits, I will check the microfilms for these.
