Many large [[ | Many large [[Grants to Land Companies and Railroads|sections of land were granted]] to the Union Pacific Railroad, which then sold it to settlers through its own land offices. Many of the records of these transactions were destroyed in a fire. The Burlington Railroad also sold land. Microfilm copies of these records are at the Nebraska State Historical Society. | ||
After land has been transferred to private ownership, subsequent transactions are recorded at county offices. The Family History Library does not have copies of the county land records. You can obtain copies of deeds and mortgages from the recorder in each county. | After land has been transferred to private ownership, subsequent transactions are recorded at county offices.
