Hi everyone! The book will be heading into publication in a couple of weeks and will be available this summer. I have spent the last year scanning more than 800 pictures that people from this area have been kind enough to allow us to use. All proceeds from the book will go to benefit the Brunswick Area Historical Society. The cost of the book is $19.99. We are accepting prepaid orders now and if you prepay you will receive a discount of $1.30 (which is the sales tax and the only amount we can contractually discount). If you have roots in this area you will enjoy the early photos of Brunswick as well as those of the many families who settled here. To get an idea of what this special book will be like you can visit our publisher's site www.arcadiapublishing.com It will be a part of the "Images of America" series. As I have been meeting with people, interviewing them and scanning their pictures you will be happy to know that the Brunswick Area Historical Society has the beginnings of a Genealogy Section. I have obtained several local genealogies and histories and even a diary from early Brunswick. My dream is to some day have a research library available. The next project that I have planned is to begin transcribing some of the early Brunswick Township records which give a wealth of information for genealogists such as voting records, etc. We are hoping we can get as many prepaid orders as possible as it will help the historical society place a larger order and maximize our profits from the sale of these books. We rely on donations and our fundraisers to pay our expenses. If you have any questions - just drop me an email. To place an order, send your check for $19.99 to: Brunswick Area Historical Society P.O. Box 714 Brunswick, OH 44212 Thanks for taking the time to read this. If you are ever in town, give me a call and bring your pictures I'd love to meet you. By the way, I do still plan on continuing to scan pictures even after the book is published and they will all be available at the historical society as part of our archives.
