Local Research
We respond to inquiries on a first-come-first-serve basis and there may
be a four to six week wait. If you live within the Omaha area or surrounding area, please
consider coming to the library where you can receive personal help in your inquiries.
- A $20.00 advance payment along with a self-addressed stamped envelope is required to do a maximum half hour search. If copies are necessary, the first five are free; $1.00 each thereafter. Requests which will clearly require more than a half hour will be returned with your check. Requests which are unclear or which require considerable analysis will be returned with your check.
- Death notices which are in our obituary file will be copied and sent for a $5.00 advance payment
and a self-addressed stamped envelope. Contact us to determine if the death notice has been
filed. Those not in the file will be charged the fees as per paragraph one.
- We do not search federal or state censuses, nor do we search microfilm for such things as
vital records, cemeteries, church records, etc. We will search microfilmed newspapers if we
have a specific date.
