I want to find out what the best resource center in Nebraska is for searching records of Polish immigrants to Nebraska in the era from 1870-1895… particularly in the Lancaster County or central Nebraska area.
I’ve done extensive research and have hit a major brick wall. I may need to hire a genealogist who works in Nebraska to take us the next step.
Thank you,
Bob,
