BACKGROUND NOTE

The Nebraska Genealogical Society was organized in the 1920’s in Lincoln, Nebraska, “to preserve the genealogical records of the Middle West and, wherever possible, trace the families of the Middle West to the eastern progenitors”. To promote these ends, the Society published The Nebraska and Midwest Genealogical Record, from 1928-1944. On October 27, 1944, the members voted to disband the organization and discontinue publication of its periodical.

SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

This collection consists of four boxes and one oversized volume. The collection consists of correspondence, minutes and financial records of the Nebraska Genealogical Society together with genealogical information collected by the organization. There are genealogies, bible records, county maps as well as vital statistics copied from newspapers, censuses, cemeteries and county records. The collection is unprocessed, but a preliminary inventory is available.
