What’s New?
Latest Changes and Additions to the “Grimshaw Origins” Website
The website on Grimshaw Family Origins and History was started in July 2000 and is continually being expanded and updated, especially as more information becomes available from Grimshaw descendants and other researchers. The reverse chronological list of development events on this webpage is primarily for those who have visited the site previously, so they can readily determine what has been changed or added since their last visit. Sometimes preliminary pages are added to the website but are not listed here until they have “substantial” content. An overall outline for the website (currently out of date) is provided on a companion webpage.
