You are our  31867 visitor since November 10, 1997 -- thanks for stopping by!

February 14, 2008 ~ I want to take just a little bit of space to let visitors to this site know that you have a new/returning host. I don't live in Nebraska so I am unable to do onsite research for anyone. I will do my best to provide resources on these pages, and answers to your questions whenever possible. I am willing to say, "I don't know, but I will see what I can find out." Contact

If you can volunteer to help with lookups, take photographs, or anything, please, contact me.

About the NEGenWeb Project

About USGenWeb Project

Requirements for Home Pages Created Under the NEGenWeb Project

NEGenWeb Project was formed in June 1996, when Dale Schneider created the Nebraska Genealogy Project as a part of the USGenWeb Genealogy Project. At that time, there was very little available on the web for those who were researching genealogy in Nebraska . Over the next year, volunteers were recruited to coordinate the web pages for each county. These volunteers were willing to coordinate the collection of databases and generally oversee the contents of the county web pages, which would include listing information on where to look in that county for genealogical research. Contact the volunteer shown on the county page if you have a desire to help or add your data to the database. You may notice a message on a county page indicating it is available for adoption. If you would like to adopt one of these counties, please contact the current coordinator of the page, whose name is listed on their county site, or the State Coordinator:

Connie Snyder, or Bill Oliver, .
