Nebraska Introduction
This set of Wiki pages describes major sources of information about families from Nebraska. As you read this outline, study the United States set of Wiki pages, which will help you understand terminology and the contents and uses of genealogical records.
Records of the FamilySearch Library[edit | edit source]
The FamilySearch Library has many of the records described in these Nebraska Wiki pages. The major holdings include published local histories, church and cemetery transcripts, census records, and agency records of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The library has purchased some records on microfilm from the National Archives and the Nebraska State Historical Society.
Some of the sources described in this set of Wiki pages list the FamilySearch Library's book, microfilm, and microfiche. These are preceded by FHL, the abbreviation for FamilySearch Library. You can use these numbers to locate materials in the library.
