Birth record, Lorella Theonia Schmuck, Sioux City, IA, April 23, 1917?

Question

I am looking for information on my mother. I would also like any records on Omaha, Nebraska in 1934 regarding the high school graduating class. My mother was valadictorian or saludatorian

Answer 1

Hey Kay,

Since I got in late on this question, you got some good advice above. Here is the County office, where you will be able to get the certificate of Birth, cheaper than at the State records, (see the website below).
I would call the County Recorder, and ask exactly how much it will cost, so you know.

You can get Yearbooks online for 1934, see the websites below, and you may be able to write to the HS in Omaha for some school records for your Mother.

Answer 2

If you're looking for a copy of a Birth Certificate, contact the Vital Records Clerk in Sioux City. You can probably get the info from their website. They usually charge $5-10 for each document and need either a letter from you or their downloaded form along with a copy of a photo ID and a stamped, self-addressed envelope.

Answer 3

There are a couple of things you can do. First start with familysearch.org and rootsweb.com to see if anyone has done any work on your line. Then you can look online at the Omaha, Nebraska website to see if they have a copy of the year book. If they do they you could possibly look at it online or you could send for copies out of it. Those will cost you.
Start with those things and they should give you more clues to follow.

At Ancestry.com, you can actually view birth, death and marriage records. You get a 14 day Free Trial, then you have to pay for the service. It is really worth it if you are tracing your family history.
