Why Blyth?

Blyth is located in Huron County, southwestern Ontario, Canada

Blyth is a remarkable village. It has achieved this distinction without the aid of a spectacular geological formation, haunted castle, or site of an ancient battle. It 's remarkable because of remarkable people who came here between 1850 and now, and quietly built and maintained a successful community and some are still building and maintaining.

My wife, Janis, and I have created the Repository of Blyth History - a collection of facts, stories, descriptions, pictures, artifacts, trivia, documents, old newspaper quotes, obituaries, marriage records, articles, etc. etc. etc. - all about Blyth, its people, its families, its events, achievements, challenges, character, ways of life, humour, foibles . . . We are volunteer historians. There is no charge for our services.

If you have ancestors who lived in Blyth and want to find out more about them, the chances are very good that we can provide you with some of that information. Sometimes people ask us for information which we have not uncovered yet - not often, but sometimes. We want to change that, so that 99% of the time, we will be able to find all that you want - or even more than you would like.

If you have any Blyth information or photos, we would appreciate getting copies for our collection.

I'll be adding brief messages here from time to time. I hope you will follow them and enjoy them.
