=== Computer Networks and Bulletin Boards ===
=== Web Sites ===
 
Computers with modems can be useful tools for obtaining information from selected archives and libraries. In a way, computer networks themselves serve as a library. The Internet, certain computer bulletin boards, and commercial on-line services help family history researchers:
 
*Locate other researchers
*Post queries
*Send and receive e-mail
*Search large databases
*Search computer libraries
*Join in computer chat and lecture sessions


You can find computerized research tips and information about ancestors from Nebraska in a variety of sources at local, state, national, and international levels. The list of sources is growing rapidly. Most of the information is available at no cost. You can use Internet search engines to help locate information.
