Volunteer Opportunity Information.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY!
The NEGenWeb Project began on June 15, 1996, when Dale Schneider launched the Nebraska Genealogy Project as part of the USGenWeb Genealogy Project. At the time, there was little online for those researching Nebraska genealogy. Over the following year, volunteers stepped up to manage webpages for each county, gathering databases and overseeing content, including tips on where to search for genealogical records in that county. If you’d like to contribute or share your data, reach out to the volunteer listed on the county page. Some counties may be marked as available for adoption—if you’re interested, contact the current county coordinator or the State Coordinator.

Opportunities to Volunteer!
Are you interested in helping out, but don't know what you can do? All volunteer help is welcome.
- Resource Lookups - Volunteers are needed for occasional lookups in local county and Nebraska resource materials. The volunteer needs: Access to county genealogical reference material(s) (family history books, cemetery records, etc.)
- Electronic Archives - We need volunteers for entering county public records (wills, land records, probate records, censuses, marriages, etc) into the project archives. Need: Access to a computer.
- Genealogical Societies - We also need internet contacts with existing local genealogical and historical societies in order to provide a "blend" of electronic research and the more traditional and time-honored print research. Need: Access to the internet and to a genealogical or historical society.
- County Web Site Coordinator - Volunteers are needed to maintain the county web site, which would include receiving (not researching) queries, surnames, etc. to be posted, and browsing the internet for new links of interest to researchers in that county. Need: Access to the internet. (more info)
