Genealogy
Please be aware that the Grantham Town Archivist, who responded to all requests for genealogical information, retired in June 2011 and has not been replaced as of 11/23/11. We continue to search for someone willing to help with this service. In the meantime, members of the Grantham Historical Society - who have limited knowledge of genealogical research - are willing to provide whatever help we can. Please contact us by email if you have questions. Thank you!
