Transcriptions by Janice Halcrow
Janice has now set up her own website, quote "which aims to provide historic births, marriages and death announcements made in the Shetland newspapers available to as wide an audience as possible. The Zetland Times started publication in 1872 and changed its name to The Shetland Times in 1873 and as such it continues to this day. The Shetland News was published from 1885 to 1963."
A link to her website can be found Historic Shetland Transcriptions....Janice has provided these in RTF and PDF formats for easy download.
