Since they haven't answered your letter one way or another, I think I would call them. Here is their number: 402-444-4800. They also have a web page and it is at: http://www.omaha.lib.ne.us/webpac Their online catalog can be searched at this site. If you don't have any luck with them, The Greater Omaha Genealogical Society will research indexed materials for a small fee. Do you know where your party was buried? If at Forest Lawn you can call them and they will search their files for whatever records they might have. In some cases they have filed obituaries. Richard F.
