The Vig Collection

Scanned images of the papers of Lars Einar Vig (pictured below), who kept extensive cross-referenced information on citizens of Washington County, Nebraska, from the days of early settlement into the mid-twentieth century. While there are portions devoted to the Danish settlers and immigrants, the documents cover all residents of Washington County. Records are derived from census documents, county court records, cemetery records, written and informal histories and local newspapers (with references to the publication and date of each article). Please note that these materials include the entire gamut of Einar's work from preliminary notes to 'final' lists. Not all are suitable for indexing. Additional parts of the collection (not listed on this page) are available under the Collections tab above.
