Old yearbooks

[Brandon]

Long shot, family from both sides discussing things we have in common.

One thing is high school and time frames.

Anyone happen to have a year book from Beechgrove HS for the years around 1944 to like 45 or 46? Interested in seeing if they were in school together or not.

We have tried looking up on the digital indy website with no luck for the years.

Looking more for a confirmation of names and not wanting to buy a book - thats why I am posting here and not a wtb.

I doubt you'll get any bites here - but there is a branch of the Indy Public Library system in downtown Beech Grove.

I'd call them and ask if they have any - or if they could tell you if/which branch/s may.

I wonder if the high school itself would have copies?

There are sites that Reprint Yearbooks - my high school has a Facebook group and I get weekly offers to buy a "discounted" yearbook for only $99

I remember seeing hundreds on E-Bay at one point. May be worth a look.

Fort Wayne has a huge used book store which carries yearbooks. If you have a used book store in the area, that may be another place to check.

Try an Ancestry.com membership. They have a lot of yearbook photos indexed to peoples names. I found tons of old yearbook photos I had never seen of family members who are long deceased, and many who are still living, from schools that no longer exist. I even found my grandfathers high school senior photo from his schools yearbook from the 1930s that no one in the family had even seen. They also have newer yearbooks as well. You might check to see if they still have the free trial going on. You can find a lot of info and save a lot of pics in a month.

I have Ancestry and checked for Beech Grove HS year books, and the ones I saw only go back to 1947.
