HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1986-04-23, Page 3Five unidentified photos for Township Families Book GODERICH TWP. — The township Families Book has finally gone to press, but the job of proofreading typeset copy still re- mains. Since- this will take quite a bit of time, it is worth noting that if you have minor additions you wish included (for ex- ample, a birth or marriage in the family), they can still be made. There is a slight charge (by ,the publishers) for all such changes, but if you want a new family member included perhaps it is worth the cost (under a dollar). There are five unidentified group photos in the hands of the editor, and unless the parties who submitted these photos come forth to claim them and name the people, these photos will not be included in the book. These are actually copies of old family group photos (taken about 1900?) which were brought in to Alison Lobb for copying. However the individuals who brought them in did not come back later to claim the copies. If you had photos copied and wish to check on whether or not they turned out, please call Alison Lobb at 482-7167, this week. Of the 700 books ordered, 675 are purchas- ed, so there will be very few copies available for sale after publication! Make sure you have your book ordered or you may not be able to get one. We expect the book will have at least 368 pages, and cost is estimated at $35 ($45 after printing date). It is hoped we will have copies available in late May, or June.
