Dolores, you do not necessarily have to go to that library to do your research. Many newspapers on microfilm can travel through the Inter-Library Loan service. Ask that local librarian if those microfilm can be requested through Inter-Library Loan, if so then your OWN local librarian can show you how to fill out the paperwork and the films will can to your local library for you to view for about three weeks. If he says not, than ask him if he knows of any OTHER library, like that state library of Georgia, that might have that same microfilm copy, and then ask them if their copy circulates through Inter-Library Loan. -Will Johnson Professional Genealogist In a message dated 12/29/2002 5:13:08 PM Pacific Standard Time, eppy@ticnet.com writes: > "Dolores J.
