Carolyn: Nausea with microfilm is probably caused by the inner ear thing that makes some carsick. Why don't you try dramamine before you microfilm again -- over the counter for airsickness and carsickness. The worst it will do is make you too sleepy to do research. My own microfilm problem is that I can walk into any room and pick the machine that is about to self-destruct or just refuse to work. Confirmed that last week at Austin (TEXAS) History Center. Finally after all the staff individually helped, they just turned off the coin operated print and trusted me to pay for whatever I copied. Hope this helps. Genealogy success is just a by-product of the real accomplishment in all this research -- PATIENCE. One day you will turn a corner and find some of those people -- just when you least expect it. Linda (No. 5) Kilgore Zeigler in Tyler, Texas, behind the Pine Curtain hot and humid here too, yet these woods are so dry that we have burn bans in place. Go figure. >>> freespirit@wwdb.org - 8/3/01 11:30 AM >>> Wow thanks for the advice!! It is very disappointing when you see all these great Kilgore family trees & you can't connect ANYWHERE because you have no information to go on. Since I'm new at this I have a dumb question. I went to the Family History Center to look at a microfilm. I got sicker than a dog!! My head was spinning & I was really sick (nausea) I could barely drive home.(I get car sick too) Does anybody else go through this weird sick feeling looking at Microfilm? Any ideas or tips on how not to get sick?? They just called to say the right film came in (last one was wrong film) I'm not too excited about going back there! I felt I could ask this question on THIS board because you are a real easy going group.
