Hi, all, The Wakeman Library has just completed two new additions to their online library, and the beginnings of our next project. We have just added a book called "Birmingham of Yesteryear", and a newspaper called the "Birmingham Clarion". We also have the first 10 pages of "The History of Clarksfield" by Weeks online and searchable. Our transcriber, Lowell Dunlap, is hard at work and has 50 pages typed. The first 10 have been proofread, and the next 40 will be online as soon as the proofreading is completed. Birmingham of Yesteryear is a book full of old pictures of Birmingham with it's history. The Clarion is a newspaper that was printed somewhere near 1980. However, it is a special issue full of historic information. All the information online is searchable now, with the exception of the newspaper "Vermilion Valley News". This is photocopies of the pages of the newspaper. All of the information can be reached from the Wakeman Home page: http://www.wakeman-ohio.com as well as from the Genealogy Resources page of the Wakeman Community Library: http://www.wakemanlibrary.com Good luck, and remember to try several different spelling of the names.
