KC, Based on what the woman at the Booster told me, your thoughts are valid. She said that she didn't know exactly when they would be getting the microfilm, but that they have gotten a box of newspapers back, so she thinks there has been some progress. A couple of months was a guess on her part. Barbara, No, I wasn't given any specific dates, but I had asked about the 1850's and 1860's and she started explaining about the microfilming. So, since she didn't say, "No, they don't have them," I translated that into a maybe. I thought I'd just hang in there and see.
