    3. Can anyone tell me what the relationship between the Napa Daily Journal and the Napa Weekly Journal of the late 1890's was? Last summer I was able to go through the surname index for the old newspapers at the Napa City Library, but I did not have time to look at more than a couple articles on their micorfilm. Napa Library doesn't lend out the microfilm on ILL but they said that California State Library does. The State Library's web catalog didn't list any dates for the late 1890's for the Napa Daily Journal but did list a microfilm for 1890-1901 for the Napa Weekly Journal and listed the Napa Daily Journal as "other edition." Our librarian ordered it in May. It finally came and I have 11 rolls of microfilm (!!) to go through and none of the citations I have match. Was the Napa Weekly Journal completely different than the Napa Daily Journal? Did the Weekly print some of the articles of the Daily Journal? Was one paper for Napa City and the other for the surrounding area? Is there a system I can use to search these papers? (other than reading all the papers around the dates of my citations - which is my best option at this time). I can only have the film for 9 more days. I did receive the years 1890-1896 for the Napa Daily Journal but my family's citations for that period seemed to be in the Napa Register. The citations for 1897-1900 were all in the Napa Daily Journal and all I have on film is the Napa Weekly Journal. Help! I have close to 50 citations of direct importance and more of interest. -Sue Juneau, AK
