Dorset Strays in Newfoundland
Kim Parker has compiled this list of Newfoundland weddings involving Dorset folk from the transcripts on Newfoundland's Grand Banks Genealogy Site (http://www.ngb.chebucto.org). Many Newfoundland records were lost or damaged, and parish clerks were not always assiduous when it came to recording the parish of origin of the bride or groom, so this list is in no way exhaustive. As always, transcripts should be used as a guide only and the original should be consulted for verification.
