NEGenWeb Project - Burt County
News Extracts
Oakland Independent, Oakland, Burt Co., Nebraska. Justin Masters has been extracting news from microfilm loaned to him by NSHS. He has a number of files with some variation in format. He began by seeking his own family. Eventually his interest and expertise extended to covering all the names in the Oakland Independent newspaper. He has generously offered to share these data files with Burt County, NEGenWeb Project.
The older files are not coded by event type, newer files are AND are supplemented by non-coded files. Below you will find a list of the surnames that are of special interest to Mr. Masters. He has provided some additional data, primarily for those surnames in non-coded files. Often it could be called "social", "school" or "sales" events. The date of publication is given for these items.
At the moment, we are uncertain of the number of files or exactly how soon they will be available to you, the Burt County viewer. Please express your appreciation for this terrific project directly to Justin Masters <jmasters@pcocd2.intel.com>
