This index is not complete. It's a partial extract of some records. The index shows last name, first name, unit and GAR Post if available.
Most of the listings without Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) Post numbers were taken from the 1890 U.S. Census for Nebraska of Veterans and Widows of Union Veterans of the Civil War.
Most of those with GAR Post numbers were taken from Grand Army of the Republic, Department of Nebraska, Series Ten, Roster of Soldiers, Department of Nebraska.
