re: Looking for information on Alyce Brobst born 10 May 1917 date of death 11 June 1999, residence Lincoln, Lancaster, Ne. This person's obituary was very likely available online at the Lincoln Journal Star at http://www.journalstar.com/ However, since "stories older than 90 days are available from our library," you need to read about that at http://www.journalstar.com/about/public $5 fee seems reasonable, and I've successfully used this service--just call with credit card. Nebraska State Historical Society (http://www.nebraskahistory.org/lib-arch/services/refrence/la_pubs/guide1.htm) can likely provide same information, but I think it needs to be a bit older than, say, a year.

In the old days, there were many unusual names for diseases and medical conditions which are not used today, except for a few of them. These terms may help you to understand what an ancestor suffered or died from. In many cases this may actually help you if you are interested in genetic/hereditary problems in the family tree. These are listed in alphabetical order.

Hi to the Lincoln list, I have just subscribed to this list in an effort to locate some living relatives to the KENYON family from Henry, IL. I recently discovered that the BIRD family may have a link with the KENYON through marriage. So, I wonder if there would be some kind soul there in Lincoln who would be so kind as to make a check of the 1920 census record ,of Lincoln, for a C.E. BIRD. I believe that Mr. BIRD married a Zoe KENYON from Henry, IL - Zoe was born in 1892 in Henry, IL. so she would be abt 28 years old at this census. I would be most appreciative for any help, and thanks in advance. Neil E. Kenyon Salem, Indiana

Marriage records before 1904 can be found usually at the archives but sometimes county courthouses also. You might want to call and request a lookup and see if they have a copy.

I am new to the list and to genealogy. I found a marriage record in the IGI for Alva STARNER to Lillian M. WALSH 11-April-1898 in Lancaster, NE. Lillian's obituary says she was married in Lincoln, NE. Can someone tell me when marriage records were started for this area as I would like to send for it? Thanks in advance, Debbie

hi Mary Hayward borckmeyers, read your listing, you said you wanted to donate it to the historical society, here is the number of a friend of mine, he is the curator/Photographic Collections/Library/Archives: John E. Carter, you can get in contact with him by email.....at JCarter@nebraskahistory.org or phone him at (402) 471-4752 and his snail mail address is 1500 R. street pobox 82554 lincoln ne. 68501. the best thing to do is put it on loan to the historical society, and list a family member for the future reference, this way if a family member ever wants to claim it later on in life, they may do so.....a donation to the library, means it stays there perminately. good luck with your venture. Debra Beeson of Bakersfield,cal. formerly Lincoln Ne.and friend of John Carter's.
