Well............I did it. One of the ladies that does genealogy for a living and I always see her at the Ohio Historical Society, is going to give me one of her microfilm readers. She says that she has about 6 of them and will strike a deal with me. I'm going to begin to purchase microfilms [Gallia/Clermont/Meigs] to begin with. Little by little, I'm going to have those films all read. We'll get all our brick walls "fixed" one way or another. Teresa Herrmann Columbus, Ohio
