Nebraska is made up of 93 counties. Our sources provide history and genealogy for 61 of them. Below we've listed the counties covered along with their county seats. So find yours and start exploring. Source materials include the rare 1882 book: History of the State of Nebraska, originally published by the Western Historical Co. of Chicago, and Nebraska, a Guide to the Cornhusker State, a 1939 project of the Federal Writers of the Works Progress Administration. Other sources used in various books will be detailed in the specific item description.

The spiral-bound booklets are printed on 60# paper with the print enlarged for easier reading. A sheet of clear vinyl protects the front cover. Pictured on either side is a scan of the cover of a booklet and an inside page to show what one may expect.
