Given the scope of Simcoe County Remembers, we expect there are names missing from its databases. If you know of any which should be added to it, or can supply missing information, please let us know. Likewise, despite our best efforts to be accurate, there may be errors in the records and we want to know about them as well. Please contact the Simcoe County Archives with any suggested additions, corrections, and comments.
