Just remember, that there's still LOTS more to be gathered, and we're always looking for help in extracting more records. Karen In a message dated 5/14/2008 9:18:40 A.M.

I found my dad's obit info right away, still looking for my grandparents and other relatives! It is wonderful to have this resource, especially when I no longer live in Nebraska and don't have easy access to the records. THANKS to you and all your incredible volunteers on both the marriage and obit projects! :) Janice Rent our beach house for a luxurious week or weekend!

While they are from Douglas county marriage licenses, I've noticed that not everyone getting a license & getting married here?was a Douglas county resident.? It's worth dropping by now and then to check as we add more names.??Some are from Iowa and points East, as well as other places. They're indexed by both bride and groom's name, and sometimes are in under alternate spellings, if the license and application weren't clear on how the name was spelled (some names are spelled 4 different ways in the?same record.? They must have been listening to Mark Twain who?is reputed to have said that he felt sorry for people who could only spell a word one way.) At any rate, the site is definitely a work in progress, so check back occasionally.? The obit web site continues to grow, and now has over 120,000 entries.? There's also a section for deaths listed in the Omaha city directories...and that gives the date of death.? Sometimes there won't be an obit,?so maybe this will help someone track some of their folks down.? There's links to the obit web site from the marriage web site, and the G.O.G.S. web site.? Feel free to drop by occasionally. Both the obit web site and the marriage web site will be updated when we have 1,000 or more names to add.
