Gerald Belanger Collection
A Growing Collection
Gerald Belanger, of Marmora, has been collecting newspaper clippings and
writing the history of that community for over a decade. Quinte Branch
OGS is pleased to announce that we have been given permission to publish
Gerald's work for the genealogy and historical communities. While
focusing mainly on Marmora, the newspapers which Gerald researched
covered much of Centre Hastings, so if you have ancestors from this
area, then this new collection will be of interest to you.

newspapers from 1850 to 2013. The core coverage is from the Centre

The bulk of the entries are obituary and funeral notices, but there
are also births, marriages, anniversaries, birthdays, graduations,
police investigations, school events, town events, family reunions,
elections, and much more. Since these are scans of the original
clippings, they include all of the original information and
photographs where they were included. There are "Pioneer Sketches"
which highlight the lives of a founding members of local townships,
including the place they came from originally. While the index only
covers the primary people mentioned in the clipping, there are some
with names of all extended family members and neighbours.
