Chase County Genealogy
Kermit Karns, of Imperial, Nebraska, has been actively collecting genealogical information of Chase County, Nebraska residents since the early 1960's, when he began recording information from the headstones at local cemeteries, and gathering information from newspapers and other county records. The following is some of the information that he has gathered, which is presented in a family group format. On occasion, data may be presented in a pedigree chart format. Please note that some of these persons may have connections that were not evident in the source material used and is not reflected herein. If you know of connections, or have any information to add to this file, please contact Kermit or Linda at the e-mail addresses below.
I am going to load material as I get it, so it will take awhile for it to be completed. Check back often for updates.
