 PICTURES OF MEDINA COUNTY- Recently, the MCGS was presented   with pictures obtained at an estate auction from a photographer in Medina. These pictures were taken over a time span from about 1945 to 1953. Some may be earlier and some may be later. They represent births, marriages, deaths and other community events. An index to these pictures is being posted here in PDF format. If you find your family mentioned here and are interested in obtaining the pictures, please contact Bob Hyde at hydert@zoominternet.net  to make arrangements to pick up the pictures or to have them shipped to you.  It is because of generous and caring people that our past is still our present. Enjoy looking - Margaret Cheney, President
