Court records are usually searched after other records have already been investigated, but they should not be overlooked. Court records can establish family relationships and places of residence. They often provide occupations, descriptions of individuals, and other excellent family history information. | Court records are usually searched after other records have already been investigated, but they should not be overlooked.

Unfortunately, court records tend to be difficult to use. The records are usually not well-indexed, there are many records, court names and jurisdictions changed, and they use many legal terms and abbreviations.

The Nebraska State Historical Society offers an online index to [http://www.nebraskahistory.org/databases/prisoners.shtml Nebraska Prison Records, 1870-1990] that has been compiled from Nebraska Board of Pardons and Parole registers and includes prisoners from the state penitentiary as well as both the men's and women's reformatories. It only contains the names of those inmates who appeared before the Board of Pardons and Paroles, however, and thus is not a complete listing of prisoners. | The Nebraska State Historical Society offers an online index to [http://www.nebraskahistory.org/databases/prisoners.shtml Nebraska Prison Records, 1870-1990] that has been compiled from Nebraska Board of Pardons and Parole registers and includes prisoners from the state penitentiary as well as both the men's and women's reformatories.
