These pages are being republished and updated as time allows from my other websites - if there are broken links, please bare with me.  The site is massive.  I'm sorry if I can not answer all the questions put before me.  I'm not an expert, but I have a lot to share. Source information is provided as much as possible, but please do your own research and confirm information found here. And finally enjoy! If you find these to be helpful in your research, consider a donation to your favorite historical society. One of my favorites is located in Saunders County, Nebraska. Stop by the museum sometime, it is a great destination.
