Clinton News-Record, 1985-2-6, Page 2Page 21--C N NILS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6,1985 News a d features Family histories wanted for history book GODERICH TWP. - After a rewarding success with the book, Goderich Township History - Vol 1: 1984, work is already pro- gressing on a second volume - this time deal- ing exclusively with Goderich Township Families. By this it is NOT meant simply stories on the early settlers' families. All township families are encouraged to submit a brief history so that the record may be as com- plete as possible. It is hoped that newer residents will respond! Remember this book wiltbe history 50 years from now, so make sure you are included! A committee consisting of Alison Lobb (482-7167), Jean Lobb (482-7580), Alice Porter (524-7004), and Doug Yeo (482-9296) has begun to collect submitted histories and over 50 are in already with another 60 pro- mised. Histories should be handed in BEFORE April 1st, 1985 so that they may be assembled into book (or booklet) form for publication during the Goderich Township 1- 5-0 celebrations. These histories should be handed in (typed, if possible) on 9 x 11 paper - DOU- BLE SPACED - on one side only. Suggested is a maximum of one such page PER GENERATION in the Township. The com- mittee also hopes to include two photos per surname. Although color photos can be us- ed, black and white do reproduce better. If you wish your photos returned, please in- clude a STAMPED self-addressed envelope.: for same. An outline page has been prepared which can be obtained from Alison Lobb (482-7167 - Con. 15, Lot 19, near Clinton). This outline covers the basic information that should be included- Certainly the committee hopes to have complete data on the first settler in the township - regardless of whether he came to the area in 1835 or 1955. This would include where he came from; where he settled and when; his vital statistics of birth, marriage and death; his occupation; and his spouse's data. Then specifics on his family through the years till today - although only COM- PLETE data on those of his descendants who remained in the township are re- quested. Since there may be two or more branches of the same family in the township it is hoped that the persdn sending the history will submit a copy of his work to other fami- ly members for their consideration. This committee takes no responsibility for veri- fying or correcting any histories submitted! The committee will not be able to suggest a tentative price for this book until they know the number of pages of material and how many copies of the book are required. It is suggested that the cost will be between $10 and $20 per copy (depending on whether or not it is a hard cover book). To assist in the planning, please notify Alison Lobb (482-7167) as soon as possible if you plan to include a history in the book. The committee would also appreciate some idea as to how many copies of such a book you would plan to purchase. A number of peo- ple have asked about help in preparing their histories so the committee is planning two days at the Goderich Township Hall in Holmesville - the afternoons of Tuesday, February 12th and the following Sunday, February 17th from 1 till 4 p.m. Along with the outline sheets, they will try to have a number of resources there that day, and some people to assist in viewing them. The Huron County Branch of the On- tario Genealogical Society has put their microfiche reader and Ontario Land Record Index at our disposal and some of their library records - the index to the 1871 census records and the cemetery reports from the area. The township assessment rolls from 1863 on and the township Tweedsmuir books are also housed at the hall and may be view- ed those days. So come and make use of the resources and assistance. The committee wants as many families represented in the new book as possible. Don't put it off and then be sorry that your family was excluded from the book! Committee members will be glad to help you put it together or put it on paper. Make sure your family is in Volume 2!
