This web page is intended to be a resource for researchers into the Grimshaw surname. As I find genealogical information and other interesting facts about the Grimshaw family line, I will attempt to post the information here in order to "advance the cause" of Grimshaw research. My own line of Grimshaws, as I currently know it, goes back to George Grimshaw, who was born in the late 1700s (in England or the U.S.) and married Charlotte Menard from Quebec. The earliest traces of George and Charlotte are in Vermont or New York, and they lived on Wolfe Island, near Kingston, Ontario for period of time. They were probably influenced to go there by William Grimshaw (spouse Mary Blair), who was an early Wolfe Island settler. George and Charlotte then migrated to Wisconsin where they settled in the Richland Center area. The George and Charlotte descendants represent one of the larger branches of the Grimshaw family tree in the U.S. You will find an excellent descendant chart of this family on the Home Page of Terry Micks (see robert-r-micks) on this Family Tree Maker site. I am also conducting research on the following Surnames: Sehnert, Bice, Rogers and Cummings. Contributions to the Grimshaw research effort will be greatly appreciated! Please contact me at my e-mail or home address. I have prepared a short booklet on the origin of the Grimshaw name and will be happy to make it available to interested Grimshaw researchers.
