[or-roots] Need advise, Microfilm

[Nancy Lee Adams]

Pat,
Yea, they are in order. But the 1852 roll was rolled completely backwards
(librarian had to fix) & when I was rolling along first in 1853 then 1852
then 1853 & so on. I got that part figured out now I think. The 1877
microfilm was in perfect order though. 

My problem is I go to the date of my ggg-Grandfather's death Sept. 6, 1877 &
look at Sept, 7, 8, 9, 10 .. & so but can't find anything? Maybe his Obit.
is not in there. I search way ahead &  far ahead. I will be making many
trips to the library & search again..Yes, I need to learn how to go about
finding where the Obits (pages) are then it might work better for me. 
practice practice practice 
  
Thanks! Nancy

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
