FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Nebraska Descriptions

Main Page

This part of the project involves gathering information about the county to add to the Description section. Try to gather this information via Google, avoiding Wikipedia if possible (we don't want to copy everything from them). Information can likely be found on a county-maintained page, or on a USGenWeb county website. Be sure to get the URL from any website where you garner information, as you will need to cite the information if you quote it. Useful information is where the county is located in the state, the date the county was created, or any interesting facts about the county. If possible, try to include information on immigrants to the county.

Possible resources for information include the county website, USGenWeb county sites as well as genealogical society websites.

Once you have found information to enter, create a Description heading under the Parent County section.
