Hi,

All I know is that my Great Grandfather, was James Patton Dixon, and that he was born/lived in Cass County MO, in about 1880.

His Mother's name I am told was Margaretha (sp) and she was Full Blooded American Indian, of what tribe I do not know.

If anyone could provide information on my Great Great Grandparents, specially my Great Great Grandmother, like her Indian Tribe, or what name she might of been born under or where, it would be much appreicated.

I am also looking for my Great Great Grandfather Dixon's first name and DOB as well.

You can contact me @ clement_dj@hotmail.com

Thanks!

I’m not related to any member of this family.

1930 is the last available searchable census at this time.

1940 census has been released but it will take several months before the transcription is completed.

Nebraska Vital Records -
Things to know about family history (genealogy).

Nebraska Vital Records only has information about events that took place in Nebraska.

Only records that are 50 years old or older may be requested for family history as stated in the Rules and Regulations Chapter 3 para 3-004.06 Genealogical Use.

Birth and death records start in 1904.

Marriage and divorce records start in 1909.

Some counties kept records in ledgers before 1904 & 1909.

From 1904 to 1911 births were usually filed only under the father’s name and didn't list the name of the child. This was only to register the birth, not to create a birth certificate.

Certificates for births started in 1912. Beginning in 1941, a person born in Nebraska before 1905 could ask to have their birth record put on file (delayed birth).

In 1985, birth and death certificates were sent to Nebraska Vital Records in Lincoln, Nebraska. (except for Lancaster & Douglas Counties)

For marriages before 1909, contact the county where the marriage license was filed or the Nebraska State Historical Society.
