I've found that local areas (city,county & state) have wonderful books on their local history, but most of these books are found in their own local libraries. Got a couple of suggestions: 1) Go to your own local library and see if they (Reference Librarian) can help you find information on the Norwalk history -- or help you by giving you an inter-library request form which they will send to the Norwalk library. These libraries "talk" to each other and have a plan to send books back and forth for research, etc. 2) Other than that, maybe they or you can contact the Library of Congress and see what books are available for loan on your subject. 3) Go to www.ebay.com, www.alibris.com, or www.librarybooksales.com. etc., to see what they have for sale. 4) Try contacting the local or County (where Norfolk is located) Genealogical Society and see what they have -- no doubt the area historical or genealogical society is packed full of local history. Most of these County Genealogical Societies have amazing information and volunteers to help you. Small donations are helpful as they need help money to keep their doors open. Good hunting.
