Where we come from has been a question for centuries, and for some, exploring ancestry is a way to place an individual's life into the story of millions. Sometimes ancestry and genealogy are used as a hobby, while others might use the study to discover hereditary health issues, to find possible inheritances, or to keep a chronicle of family life. Whatever your purpose for exploring your genealogy, we have a number of eBooks on the subject, whether you're a beginner or long-time genealogy enthusiast. Your journey to the past begins here.

UNO Libraries can help. UNO students, staff, and faculty can access MyHeritage - Library Edition for historical research needs. And don't forget to ask our Archives & Special Collections department for tips and tricks on genealogy!
