~ PERSHING COUNTY ~
Pershing county was established 1919 from land taken from Humboldt county. It is the newest county in Nevada but has a long history as part of Humboldt county, the oldest county in the state. If you are searching for family in Pershing County and can't locate them you might wish to look in other counties, especially Humboldt.
If you believe your ancestors may have been married in some other western state, the Brigham Young University maintains a web site listing early marriages for several western states. The web site is named Western States Marriages and can be searched by bride or by groom.
You may use the obituray index to find information that may pertain to the ancestors you are researching. If you have any Pershing County obituaries that you wish to share with the rest of us, please send them to the county host and they will be posted here.
