Thanks to Richard Grenell for another view of Paris and the Rue de Grenelle. Of course, at this time we do not have definitive proof of a direct link to the Parisian/Burgundian Grenelle family, but it's a great photo nonetheless, and perhaps additional research may find something even further back (in the 1550s or thereabouts). Thanks for sharing, Richard!

Just got this (with many thanks!) from Ginny Grenell.

We're looking for pictures of street signs with the Grinnell (or Grennell, or Grenell, or Grinols, or the other variations) name in them for a future web page. Send pictures in any convenient file format (JPEG, PNG, BMP, etc.) to the webmaster at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Thanks!

There are many collectible objects that relate to the Grinnell family that can be obtained very inexpensively. These include a ton of items from the Grinnell Corporation (now a division of Tyco International) such as sprinkler heads, bookends, ashtrays, and such. The Grinnell Brothers Music Store of Detroit and its environs produced numerous musical instruments of their own manufacture and others that were "private labeled" (manufactured by others but bore the Grinnell name), that are quite collectible. The Grinnell College Bookstore offers a number of Grinnell imprinted items. Grinnell, Iowa and Grinnell, Kansas also have many collectible items related to them including postcards, advertising items from local businesses, and so on.
