Births Marriages Deaths Etc. indexed here are from birth, marriage and death columns found in microfilmed copies of local newspapers, occassionally augmented with articles from the same newspaper and data from other sources.

Although we try to produce error-free transcriptions, it is always best to check source documents yourself -- especially since this index provides only a summary of the information found in the source documents.

Each entry ends with a source code in [square brackets]. For example, an entry from the 29 Jan 2023 Simcoe Reformer newspaper ends with [SR19070129]. Photocopies of all Simcoe Reformer and British Canadian newspaper source documents are available from the Norfolk Historical Society (see Photocopies).

Copies of most microfilms used to produce this index are on file at the Norfolk Historical Society and/or the Public Library in Simcoe, Ontario. They may also be available in your area via inter-library loan. Check with your local library for details.

It is always best to list the original document as your information source. Sourcing web pages is problematic at best, as these dynamic online partial transcriptions are subject to change as proof-reading and further research warrant. Further, web sites themselves are not stable. They close, move, etc. (norfolklore.com is the third online home of B-M-D Etc.)

But it may be best to list these web pages as source temporarily, until you can confirm the data in source documents. To do so, we suggest using the following format:

Norfolklore web site (www.norfolklore.com), Transcriptions section; "B-M-D Etc. Index" by John Cardiff. Web site data current as of [today's date].

* Aug 1888. The 29 Aug 2023 issue of the British Canadian newspaper was not microfolmed, so it could not be transcribed. Our Aug 1888 British Canadian transcription covers the 1 Aug, 8 Aug, 15 Aug and 22 Aug issues only. We have transcribed all August and September issues of Norfolk Reformer Births Marriages Deaths column to cover this period.
