- Notes
- The Trafalgar Township Historical Society has a very large print chart (with map features) showing the geneology of the Cline family which can be consulted. It was prepared in 1973 by Malcolm Cameron Cline.
The family surname in Trafalgar Township was "Cline" but researchers should also check "Kleyn", "Klein", "Klin", "Cleyne" and other variations. - Subject(s)
