[or-roots] Need advise, Microfilm

[Nancy Lee Adams]

Thanks Barbara,
I'm very sure I'll need the extra time as this is my first time searching
through rolls of microfilms. I will go back again & look on the first  few
pages of the newspaper I need 1877. It sure is interesting though to see &
read things that were in the Oregon Statesman 1852-1853, 1877-1878 because
you can actually read about old pioneer stories that weren't old then, it
was new news then & I seen most stories were about Chief Joseph in which I
love to read about.

Thanks! Nancy

Nancy,
In searching old newspaper microfilm for obits, I was surprised at how many
deaths were actually front page items.  On the other end of the spectrum, I
have also found a death mentioned in the little community "gossip" sections,
too, but usually not with much additional useful information.
 
On your interlibrary loan, I have found our local library anyway to be very
accomodating in extending the length of the loan.  I think that they check
with the Knight Library first.  Then, if no one else has requested the film,
they will extend it for another two or three weeks.
 
Good luck,
Barbara Herring

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
