Susan: I have ordered approximately 6 microfilms of the Clermont County Courier through interlibrary loan almost a month ago and am still waiting for them to arrive. I neglected to write down the film numbers, but I picked dates that corresponded with the deaths of several of the many John Behymers who died in Clermont County, hoping I may be able to find some obituaries. I also will be getting the reel that contains the 1893 article describing the migration of the Behymers from Virginia to Ohio. I plan (but may not succeed) in reading through each microfilm, recording anything that may be of genealogical significance. When the films arrive, I will let everyone know which reels I ordered. If you (or any others on this list) would like to volunteer to read a few of these microfilms, go to the new Behymer web site that I created which contains a link to a searchable database of Ohio newspapers on microfilm that can be ordered through interlibrary loan. The cost is $3 for each microfilm ordered (from the Ohio Historical Society) + $3 from the local library that you order the films from (in my case, my local library only charged me $3 on their end for all 6 films, since I ordered the films all from the same place). I will post a message to this mailing list as to which microfilms I will be reading so that we do not duplicate our efforts.
