How to Find Nebraska Death Records: Difference between revisions

Nebraska did not begin statewide registration of death records until late 1904, although compliance was not total for several years. Generally, they did not record deaths at the county level. However,&nbsp; it may be worth the effort to contact the county clerk of the county where the person died to see if they have any death records prior to 1904, as the official website of the Nebraska State Vital Records Office has made the following statement: "If the death occurred before 1904, try contacting the county office for information. Be aware that they will charge you whether they find the person you are looking for or not."&nbsp; Therefore, it may be worth the effort to contact the county clerk of the county where the person died and ask ahead of time if they have any pre-1904 death records.<br>
