If you are looking for Nebraska genealogy records, some excellent resources available can help you to find them. Genealogy records can help you to learn a great deal of information about your family's history. They can answer all of the questions you have such as who was in your family, where they lived and even how to arrived in the state of Nebraska. However, there is no just one resource for finding this information. Rather, you will need to gather as much data as you can from various providers. That is the best way to ensure you get access to all the details you need.
 

When getting started with your Nebraska genealogy records, you will want to start with the state's records. The state of Nebraska did not always keep the records of individual's births and deaths on hand. Rather, it initially allowed the town clerk's and the counties to record this information. In fact, only towns gathered much of this data until the early 1900's. If you need information from this early time period, you will likely need to turn to the town's clerk's offices for more information.
 

In 1904, the state of Nebraska enacted a law requiring that the counties needed to send all records of vital detail, including births and records to the state for record keeping purposes. Only a registration or documentation of this information was made at the state level. In 1909, it required that all marriages be recorded at the state level as well. If you need information from this time period of 1904 onward, the best resource to start with is the following address:
 

Nebraska Department of Health

Vital Records Department

PO Box 95065

Lincoln, Nebraska 68509
 

It is possible that you will find some older records at that location. However, even if you do not, you will want to continue your search for Nebraska genealogy records through other sources. One of the best options is to use the local churches and cemeteries. These institutions kept records from the very founding of them in the state. It is common for individuals to find records within churches dating back to the 1800 and 1700's. Also, check out some of the old cemeteries in the area. The following are a few places to start.
 

·        In Cass County, visit the Rock Bluff Cemetery.

·        In Filmore County, the Catholic Cemetery in Fairmont and the Horton Cemetery are good options.

·        In Gage County, visit the Old Cemetery located in Beatrice.

·        Lancaster County is home to the Yankee Hill Cemetery.

In addition to this, you can use the census information to help you. The state participated in the 1910 census and this information may be available at the state level. Military records can also help. The 1840 Pensioners Database is one of the best options because it dates back to include numerous wars. As you look for information to complete the Nebraska genealogy records, take the time to learn about your family's individual history and where it has come from.
