Site Map “Grimshaw Origins and Family History” Website
New Webpage! (February 2004). The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS) maintains an extensive database of family pedigrees that is made available on a set of 65 CDs. The database, referred to as the “Pedigree Resource Files”, is based on contributions from many family history researchers and contains millions of individuals. The entire database is available (with a Master Index) at the LDS Library in Salt Lake City. A search was made of the Master Index for Grimshaw surnames, which yielded 1025 entries for individuals that occur in the various pedigrees. These records are tabulated on this webpage.
This webpage contains the links in the outline below for all the webpages on this website. If you are interested in gaining a good grounding on the origins and family history of the Grimshaws, you might also want to visit the “Overview of Grimshaw Origins and Family History” webpage.
