As with researching in any specific geographical location, Coleman suggests, the challenge for researching in Nebraska is to locate as many records as possible. There are many repositories where these records are found. Nebraska’s record keeping is somewhat unique, but very useful to the genealogist with a little know how. Available records document families who came to Nebraska, whether they settled and stayed or moved on after a few years.

Heavily illustrated with photos and documents, this volume was written to give the researcher clues in locating and understand Nebraska specific records; including, those records previously not considered relevant or available.

Author Ruby Coleman, of Nebraska, has been actively involved in researching genealogy for over 40 years and has been a professional genealogist for over 25 years. She is an instructor of seminars and classes, as well as a lecturer and free-lance writer. Her expertise is in Nebraska and the plains states genealogy, history, and research.
