that live in the county that will do research as time permits.

Knox County History
From Andreas' History of Knox County, 1882
Knox County was organized by the Territorial Legislature in
1857, and named L'Eau Qui Court, that being the French name for
the river named by the Indians Niobrara--both names meaning, in
English, Running Water. The name was changed to Knox by a
statute passed February 21, 1873, which took effect April 1,
1873.
Andreas' History of Nebraska
Searching for ancestors that may have been in Nebraska
before 1882? Here is the best place to look on line. Volunteers have typed and put on line the entire two volumes of Andreas'
History of Nebraska. You will find more
history of Knox County, including lots of surnames. Please
visit the Andreas site:

About the NEGenWeb Project
NEGenWeb was formed June 15, 1996, when Dale
Schneider created the Nebraska Genealogy Project as a part of the USGenWeb Genealogy
Project. At that time, there was very little available on the web for those who were
researching genealogy in Nebraska. Over the next year, volunteers were recruited to
coordinate the web pages for each county. These volunteers were willing to coordinate the
collection of databases and generally oversee the contents of the county web pages, which
would include listing information on where to look in that county for genealogical
research. Contact the volunteer shown on the county page if you have a desire to help or
add your data to the database. You may notice a message on a county page indicating it is
available for adoption. If you would like to adopt one of these counties, please contact
the current coordinator of the page, whose name is listed on their county site, or the
State Coordinator.
