This has been a tremendous undertaking. Hundreds of hours have been spent at a microfilm reader, pouring over every story of every page of old newspapers, all the while hoping to find that important fact that no one has read in a long time. This researcher personally has looked at about 3,000 newspapers on microfilm. Next are the hours of interviewing people, deciphering and typing notes, copying photos, and looking at old maps to figure where places were located. Then there's the compiling of the information into a readable story, one which is constantly changed and updated.
Researchers are actually detectives, trying to figure a story to a plausible conclusion.
