The NEGenWeb Project is a collection of state and county sites offered to you by the many volunteers who are dedicated to helping promote free genealogical research in Nebraska. Follow the links to the left to visit the County Sites List, the Nebraska Resource Center where you will find more information on researching in Nebraska, the Nebraska OnLine Library with many books, maps and publications that have been transcribed for the web. Don't forget the Basic Helps section of the Resource Center for help in finding out how to find Nebraska Records (State vitals, census, etc.). Although it is not 'required', our State Resource Center and many of our County sites include transcription projects to help in your research. Please take the time to find out just what may or may not be available online on our State and County sites.
You can go to our individual counties by using the County Sites List which include the county seat and the date the county was formed plus any counties that are adoptable, or by the Clickable Map.
Nebraska was the 37th state admitted to the Union on March 1st, 1867, and is the geographical center of the United States.
Its neighbors are Kansas to the south, Iowa to the East, Missouri to the southeast, Colorado to the southwest, and South Dakota to the North. Nebraska has the only one house legislature in the United States, the unicameral.
The origin of the name Nebraska comes from an Oto word meaning "flat water".
Arbor Day was founded in Nebraska City by J Sterling Morton in 1872.
Some of the many attractions in Nebraska include The Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo, Chimney Rock, Carhenge (a replica of Stonehenge fashioned from cars) and the Strategic Air And Space Museum near Ashland, Nebraska.
