I don't know if I qualify here or not, been here since 1953.
Is your ancestor LDS? If so, you are in luck as their records are excellent. Much info can
be gleaned through their CHURCH records. If not, it is another storey.
Births are recorded by the counties and were not required to be registered in 1889. Did he
died in Nevada? perhaps there is a cemetery with him if he did.
Otherwise, it is a county by county search. If you are okay using the phone for long
distance calls, each county in Nevada has the necessary information posted at their
websites. If not, then we are talking about the old fashion way; snail mail. Check the
state page first where there is a llink to the counties giving their formation dates.
Counties such as Clark that wasn't formed until 1909 would be useless in your search.
