Would the County Court have Declarations of Intent or Naturalization papers for those that came to Saline County in 1887? Thanks Terrie

The Nebraska State Historical Society has all the copies on microfilm of the newspapers of Nebraska. I believe they charge $5.00 per look up, and send quite a bit of information or as much as they can find. The Crete Newspaper is the Crete News in Crete Nebraska. Also death certificates can be obtained for 7.00 from the Dept. of Vital Stats (along with a SASE). Marriages are also thru the State Vital Stat's too. donna
