Johann Heinrich NABER





THIS seems to me to be a really precious document for the Naber family in 1878 Nebraska.  It gave them ownership of 80 acres because they'd lived there for six years, and they'd improved it.  That 12 X 27 soddy was about the size of a small one car garage, and the 10 X 20 one is mentioned as a second house...like for sleeping maybe?

Below, December 1st, 1877, John becomes a citizen of the United States, and so his whole family became citizens too.
(John Heinrich was my grandmothers' uncle, or Great grandpa Gerhards' brother).




THANK YOU to Larry, and to the state of Nebraska for digitizing these records...
