Hi Ahlive! You might try the <A HREF="http://www.unl.edu/libr/libs/spec/specar1.html">UNL Special Collections and University Archives</A> http://www.unl.edu/libr/libs/spec/specar1.html Contact them to see if they would be able to photocopy items of interest on the person you are looking for information on in the specific years. I was able to get copies of my Grandfather's photos and his employment records since he was a Professor of Music there from 1920-1955. The cost was minimal and I was so pleased with the photos. I can't promise anything but you can at least give it a try. Of course I was lucky since my Grandpa was also one of the original "Seven" who founded the Lincoln Symphony Orchestra which is now in its 75th year!

Hello All: Does anyone know if there were year books for the years 1922-1924? My father graduated from the University of Nebraska during that time and was wondering if and where a picture would be available. Thank you - Ahlive

I just received the marriage certificate for my G-grandfather John Andrew Hogan and his first wife Anna MORN. I would like to find out more about her and her parents. Her parents names were Dennis MORN & Ann MCFALL MORN. The marriage was in 1887 in Lancaster Co., NE. I know that they had 4 daughters and a son, and my own grandmother was from the second marriage to Mary Ann O'GARA. The first wife Anna was 19 at the age of her marriage to my G-grandfather John HOGAN who was 30. Both were born in Scotland (SCOTCH-IRISH). Does anyone have a connection to the MORN family? Anna was supposed to have died in childbirth but I don't know any more than this. Any help is appreciated. <A HREF="http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~irishrose/hogan.html">HOGAN FAMILY</A> http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~irishrose/hogan.html Take care ~Kathie Harrison Harrison Roots & Branches home page: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~irishrose/index.html

My cousin in Lincoln sent me these clippings from unidentified Lincoln (I guess) newspapers. One has a handwritten date of Aug 2, 1895. They are obviously the same party, but the names are spelled differently in some cases, and the names are different on each list. My great grandparents are there - it's the summer before they were married (Bird Johnson and my great grandfather is just listed by his last name of Gardner). Maybe one of you will find a family member here. Maybe someone on the list can tell me where Burlington Beach is? Mary Brockmeyer ********* Miss Grace Ramsay entertained a merry crowd of young people at the beach last Wednesday evening. Miss Ramsay deserves to be congratulated for her great success as a hostess. Her party was one of the most delightful of the season. The evening was devoted to dancing. The guests were: Misses Lillian Peters, Florence Hale, Loretta Kelly, Anderson of Sioux City, Anna Griffith, Lotta Cooper, Fisher of Fairmont, Stella Hoyt, Louise Fowler, Bird Johnson, Eda Carpenter, Paul of Hastings, Alice Sheldon, Lottie Clark, Laura Dethlefs, Frankie Stile, Jennie Stewart, Emma McWhinnie, Edna Pierce; Mesdames Smith of Denver, Platt of Beatrice, Strickland, Forbes and Ramsay; Messrs.

I have just gotten this photo of Simon P. BENADOM who was an early pioneer to Nebraska Territory and was well-known in Lincoln, NE. He was a personal friend of then-Governor David Butler. Simon's grandson, LeRoy Benadom Smith married my grandaunt Viola Harrison. I was visited today by the granddaughter of Lee's sister Beulah. Phyllis Jean (nee Francies) Bryant is a direct descendant of Simon and she and I share the granduncle and aunt by marriage. The day was spent visiting and scanning all the old photos that she brought with her. I will be adding some old photos to the Lancaster County pages soon. I wanted to share a sneak peek at the photo of Simon P. Benadom with horse and buggy on 27th Street in Lincoln when it was all rural! This photo is circa 1870.

Hi! Not sure if this is where I go with this question, but visited your cemetery list and found it very interesting. Should I , or maybe I should say, would you be interested in adding my grandfather's name to the Wyuka list. I realize it probably wouldn't be of interest to very many, but who knows? Is that how you get entries to the list. I just recently obtained the information from the Director of Development as a result of a message on your Lancaster Co Web site. Mary Jane Parsons<><

I used the wyuka@navix.net address for the Wyuka Historical Foundation to find out information on my grandfather as I knew he was buried in Wyuka. They e-mailed me back what lot he was buried in along with his birthdate and deathdate, none of which I had known before. It was sent to me from Ed Holbrook, Director of Development of the Historical Foundation.
