With newspaper microfilm, anything that happened before 1869
Hi Researchers,
I don't leave Douglas County, Oregon too much, so I don't get to go looking at other counties microfilms.
I am wondering if in other newspapers of Oregon-if there is information of Myrtle Creek and pretty much Douglas County mentioned in their newspapers? If families were mentioned in their newspapers from Douglas County?If there are newspapers that were saved and microfilmed having information before 1869?
Have you(possibly) in your searching for your surnames, ever found or listed which areas of Oregon might be in certain newspapers and the names or at least surnames mentioned from Douglas County?
For example, there was information shared with me from Jacksonville, the Oregon Sentiniel that had some things listed for people living in Myrtle Creek(relatives that I am looking for) but the copies are light that were saved and it is hard to read. Maybe some of thes articles were saved in other counties?
Maybe there is information mentioned of people who were born, married, passed away from Douglas County,Oregon?
If there are people willing to look thru their copies of newspaper articles back then, or on their microfilms for some people I am looking for that would be especially Great!
If they can't find our relatives, but find someone else's, that they could take note, share what they find, we might all like having that information listed where and what date that happened at,so others can know about the information and send for a copy from that area of researching, or have it listed so the reference librarians can share it, or/ and post on this forum maybe?
I know this is wishful thinking and time consuming. Maybe alot of brick walls would be answered this way.
Sincerely,
Carol
