[or-roots] Need advise, Microfilm

[Kith-n-Kin]

The microfilms should be in some kind of order -- by date?  See if you can figure out, by the information
on the outside of the box, what the time frame is.
 
I don't know of any (easy) way to do this, otherwise.  One thing, usually the obits will be on similar
pages from day to day. Once you figure out where that is, maybe you can work faster. Of course, from year
to year that may change, so be careful.

Hi..Need advise,
 
I requested micro-film from the Knight Library, Eugene, OR. for Oregon Statesman newspapers the years 1852
(when my McCubbins line came to Marion Co., OR and 1877 the year my ggg-Grandfather James McCubbins died.
I went to the Library this am & searched & searched &  >>>>. I realize it's not easy finding what you
want, but does any one have a clue on how to approach / search better in these reels of microfilm as I
have 6 to go through & the library keeps them on hand for 2 weeks. What I'm desperately still trying to
find is hopefully & it's a long shot, an Obit. on my ggg-Grandfather James McCubbins who died Sept. 6,
1877 North Salem, Marion Co., OR.  Searching for Obit & his grave & getting no where fast. I think in all
the searching I did this am I only found one Obit for someone else.
 
Thanks! Nancy
