NEBRASKA BLUE BOOK SELECTIONS |
Nebraska Blue Book and Legislative Manual for the Year 1889. Most pages done as images. They are large - in order to read the data!
Did not reproduce the US Declaration of Independence, Constitution, Organic Act, etc. Everyname index added.
Of interest - census figures shown by precinct - example from Howard County "Cotesfield precinct including the Village of Elba"
Election reports by county have been abbreviated. Provided names of candidates and statewide total of votes. Anybody interested in more detail can request copy from NSHS, please.
Summary of Congressional elections - included names of counties in each district as of 1889.
Have no idea if the boundaries have changed since, or if there are more congressional districts by now.

P.S. from Ted & Carole Miller who transcribed this edition: Some names that we think "should be" the same person appear
with different initials depending on page. Have cross-checked until cross-eyed! Anxious to declare it done and get it gone!
Ted & Carole Miller have created yet another addition to the Memorial Library. If I could clone them I sure would!!! They said it was the slowest book ever reproduced! Poor quality paper (creased during printing) and less that perfect ink - "bled through" and blotched. But the "basics" are most worthwhile. List of state and county officials, mini-bios and portraits. List of all current & prior elected state officials - in alpha order (a vast improvement over the annual lists in one of the other history books!) Abbreviated history for state, and history of military in NE. Old state constitution, with revisions in bold face. List of postoffices in 1920 - including those about to be closed, with the post-master/mistress named. Assorted statistics... The index is general (NOT everyname), and we haven't done an index to the portraits yet ....
Yet another of the series of Nebraska Blue Books, just chuck full of data that will work well with people doing research in the state. There is an everyname index added by Ted & Carole and lots of illustrations also.
1930 Nebraska Blue Book We have NOT reproduced "every page"! Skipped the Declaration of Independence, US Constitution, Organic Law, Enabling Act and State Constitution. Those are same as what appeared in the 1926 Blue Book. The lists of members of the state government, reps to federal government, dept. heads, county and city officials, etc. - all are updates of the versions that appeared in earlier issues.
The biographical section is for those holding state offices, 1929-1931. Pictures of "most". Don't rely on the figures in the tables - get a copy of the originals from NSHS Library. Found myself counting rows and columns - up, down and sideways in order to keep my place.
Every name index added ... somewhere between 4000-5000 names. At least 500 double checked when only difference was initial, or something of that sort. Hope it's "fixed" ... (grin).
Another great production by the magic team of Ted & Carole Miller. Without them I would have some but no where near the wealth of information they have transcribed over the years of my collection of antiquarian books.
The team of Ted & Carole Miller just keep chugging along! I think I will start sending some of the data that I have for other states, though in afterthought they just might disown me. <g>
