Genealogy

Library staff is available to assist with using the Otoe County genealogy resources for research (with limited census information for Cass and Nemaha Counties). The library also fulfills genealogy requests. Please send your detailed genealogy/history research request to mortonjameslibrary@gmail.com

Provide a mailing address and telephone number. Please allow 4 to 6 weeks for a response.

We do not charge for our research service. However, we do suggest a $10.00 minimum donation to the library.
