[[Image:Lake Coeur d'Alene.jpg|left|Lake Coeur d'Alene.jpg]][[Image:Idaho Map.jpg|right|109x179px|Idaho Map.jpg]]Welcome to the '''[[Idaho]] [[FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject|WikiProject]]!'''

We welcome contributors here. We are focusing on the county pages for the 44 current counties of Idaho and the 2 counties that were active for a short time and which no longer exist. We have built a foundation for a county page, with record type headings.
 
We also have added town (city) pages for about 200 places in Idaho. Most of the larger cities and towns now have their own Wiki page. We will be adding information about records specific to those towns and cities, as well as cross-linking to larger cities and towns and to the counties where additional records for the residents of those localities may be found.
 
In a few cases, we have started to add pages for towns of historical interest which may no longer exist (ghost towns) -- see [[Rockville, Idaho|Rockville, Idaho]] as an example. For the most part, that is a future part of the project, but you are free to add information you may know about such localities and their records.
 
We invite you to add whatever you know about the records of the county or counties and/or the towns or cities in which you are interested. Working together, we can all benefit from the knowledge of community members on the Wiki.
 
If you have questions, or need some guidance on what to add or how to do so, feel free to contact the project leader or other team members.

<br>'''Current Tasks needing volunteers:'''<br>
 
*[[Wiki Project -- Idaho -- Tasks -- Town Halls|Town or city halls]] -- This is a Google Task -- We need to locate contact information for the city or town halls of the towns of Idaho.
*[[Wiki Project -- Idaho -- Tasks -- Churches in Cities|Churches in the towns and cities of Idaho]] -- This is a Google Task -- We need to identify churches, current and historical, in the towns and cities of Idaho.
*[[WikiProject -- Idaho -- Tasks -- County History Resources|Counties]] -- Add a list of known publications or links about the history of each county. See [[Owyhee County, Idaho|Owyhee County]] or [[Adams County, Idaho|Adams County]] as examples.<br>
*Towns -- For the towns of Eastern Idaho, check the names of wards in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (usually corresponding to the names of towns) in Andrew Jenson's ''Encyclopedic History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints'', and summarize the town history under the history heading for the town. This task presumes access to the above named book. See [[Weston, Idaho|Weston, Idaho]] for an example of information for "Quick Facts," "Geographical Location," and "History" (under Resources) were all taken from Jenson's ''Encyclopedic History''...<br>
*[[WikiProject -- Idaho -- Tasks -- County Links to IDGenWeb Resources|Counties]] -- Cross link to information on IDGenWeb pages<br>
*[[Wiki Project -- Idaho -- Tasks -- Newspapers in Cities|Newspapers in the towns and cities of Idaho]] -- This task involves copying the list of newspapers available in the State Archives for each city or town to their respective page.
 
<br>*Other tasks will be added later
 
'''Completed Tasks:'''
 
*[[Wiki Project -- Idaho -- Tasks -- Proofing|Proofreading and verifying of links]] -- County pages have now been proofread for typos and the links on those pages verified. This will need to be done periodically and on-going. '''THANK YOU'''<br>
*[[Wiki Project -- Idaho -- Tasks -- Towns|City and town pages]] -- New pages need to be created for cities and towns in some counties, using a prototype with formatted headings -- '''THANK YOU''' -- Due to you wonderful team members, this task is now complete, at least for now. Later, we may add content to the pages created and also create modified pages for unincorporated communities, but if we do, we will add a new task.
*[[Wiki Project -- Idaho -- Tasks -- County Commissioners' Records|County Commissioners' Records]] -- A description of these records needs to be added in the pages for all 44 counties. -- '''THANK YOU''' -- Another Project task completed!
*[[WikiProject -- Idaho -- Tasks -- County Tax Records|Counties]] -- Add a generic statement about tax records in the counties of Idaho. Such a statement should read "Existing tax assessment rolls for [name of county] County should be in the county courthouse in [name of county seat] or in the Idaho State Archives in Boise." Be sure to add the name of the county and the name of the county seat in place of the brackets in the above statement. See [[Canyon County, Idaho|Canyon County]] for an example.-- '''THANK YOU''' -- Virtually completed; additional information will need to be added as more information about these records is discovered.<br>

Revision as of 12:50, 6 May 2010

Project Scope [edit | edit source]

Idaho has 44 existing counties, two counties that existed for a time and have gone out of existence, and other counties that were anticipated, named, but never were organized.

Items of Information[edit | edit source]

  • Photographs of the county courthouse in each county are needed to be added to the county page, similar to what has been done for Adams County.
  • Names of populated places and communities within each county need to be identified and added, similar to what has been done for Bannock or Owyhee County

Record Types[edit | edit source]

  • For each of 15 record types, general and specific statements about existing collections, their use, and their accessibility need to be compiled. A general statement regarding records, similar to the one for Ada or Bannock Counties, should be in place for each of the 44 counties. Many have already been added.
Cemetery Records[edit | edit source]

For cemetery records, a table showing all known cemeteries and any transcriptions or online photos of tombstones needs to be compiled.

Census[edit | edit source]

A brief statement referring the user to the state census page has already been included. If there are peculiarities for each county, they should be added under this heading (see Oneida County for an example of a specific note).

Church[edit | edit source]

A partial list of wards and other church units of The Church if Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) has been added. Details of church records of other denominations is sorely lacking and should be added.

County Commissioners' Minutes[edit | edit source]

A statement similar to the one for Ada County needs to be compiled and added for each county.

Court[edit | edit source]

A summary of microfilmed court records available at the Idaho State Library and Archives (PARL) and at the Family History Library needs to be added (see Ada County for an example).

Histories[edit | edit source]

Any published county histories or histories of the county available online should be listed and linked.

Land and Property, including Mining Claims aand Water Rights[edit | edit source]

A summary of microfilmed land and property records available at the Idaho State Library and Archives (PARL) and at the Family History Library needs to be added (see Ada County for an example).

Maps[edit | edit source]

If possible, at least one fairly modern map and one historical map for each county, available online, should be identified, with a link provided.

Military[edit | edit source]

World War I Draft Registration statements have been added to all counties. Some discharge records, etc. from the counties have been added. Others should be added as they are located.

Naturalization and Citizenship[edit | edit source]

Statements regarding naturalization and citizenship have been added for some counties. These records for other counties should be researched and added.

Newspapers[edit | edit source]

Current and historical newspapers should be identified and listed, at least to the level of detail as for those for Ada County. PARL has an inventory of historical newspapers in their collection, arranged by town. They can be summarized at the county level, and details of titles and years covered could be added to a town or city page, if one has been created.

Pension[edit | edit source]

Statements regarding Mothers' Pensions and Old Age Pensions, where they apply, have already been added to each county.

Probate[edit | edit source]

A summary of microfilmed probate records available at the Idaho State Library and Archives (PARL) and at the Family History Library needs to be added (see Ada County for an example). These records should also be listed under the court records heading.

Taxation Records[edit | edit source]

Statement such as that for Bannock County Taxation needs to be added under that subject for all counties with no statement about Taxation. Any tax records transferred to the Idaho State Historical Society's Public Archives and Research Library should be identified and listed.

Vital Records[edit | edit source]

A statement similar to the one for Ada County needs to be compiled and added for each county.

Important Websites[edit | edit source]

Websites of importance to those doing research in each county need to be compiled, including links to USGenWeb and other websites, and added.

Bibliography[edit | edit source]

A bibliography of important references for Idaho research needs to be compiled and added to each county page.

Contributors[edit | edit source]

Current Sprint: 3 May 2010 to 1 June 2010[edit | edit source]

Focus for this sprint will be on continuing to add content to the County pages. We will also continue to add internal links between counties, state, city, and topics pages.
