===============================================
the index to this book for Otoe and Cass Counties is on the web already.
I have copied it from:
ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usegenweb/ne/otoe/biograpohy/albuminx.txt
or ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/.../biography/albuminx.txt

I will be happy to look up anyone for these 2 counties in case you can't
get there. Our public library has the volume in its library and I
assume the larger libraries in each county may also possibly have the
volume pertaining to their own county. Also, the library in Lincoln has
the entire set. I do not know if the index for any other counties in
this set of books is online as I was only checking information for Otoe
County.
