These tips will help you as you research your ancestors in Idaho:<br> | |||
*''' | <br> | ||
*''' | '''Birth and Death information:'''<br> | ||
---- | |||
*'''''Statewide registration:''''' The state began registering births and deaths in 1911, with full compliance by the 1920s. | |||
*'''''County regististration:''''' The counties were officially required to keep records of births and deaths from 1907 to 1911.<ref>''Idaho Research Outline.'' Salt Lake City, Utah: Intellectual Reserve, Inc., Family History Department, 1988, 2004, 10. (Accessed 17 Feb 2025). '''''Online at:''''' [https://files.lib.byu.edu/family-history-library/research-outlines/US/Idaho.pdf BYU University - Provo]</ref> | |||
*'''''Access to records:''''' See [[Idaho Vital Records]] for more information about birth, marriages, and deaths in Idaho. | |||
<br> | |||
'''Substitute Records:''' | |||
---- | |||
*'''''Secondary source:''''' Substitute records are used when primary sources do not exist for an event, such as birth, marriage, and deaths. Secondary sources list information about the event but they were not recorded at the time of the event and they are not an official record of the event. | |||
*'''''Accuracy:''''' Because the information about an event in substitute records was not the official recording of the event (such as, cemetery or obituary records) inaccuracy may occur. Use other substitute records to help varify information. | |||
*'''''List of substitute records:''''' See [[Idaho Substitute Records|Idaho Substitute Records]] for more information. | |||
<br> | |||
'''Finding Parents:''' | |||
---- | |||
*'''''Death records:''''' Death records created by the state starting in 1911 may contain parents of the deceased. Information was not always provided and the accuracy of the information was limited by the grieving relatives' memory. | |||
*'''''Obituaries:''''' Official obituaries can also include the names of parents and other family members. See [[Idaho Newspapers]] and [[Idaho Obituaries]] for more information. | |||
*'''''Church records:''''' Knowing the denominiation of the church the family belonged to helps in locating information about the parents. See [[Idaho Church Records]] for more information. | |||
<br> | |||
'''Census Records:''' | |||
---- | |||
*'''''Check all census years:''''' Always look for your ancestor in every possible census to learn more about them and their family members. See [[Idaho Census|Idaho Census Records]] for more information. | |||
*'''''Clues to other records:''''' There are clues in censuses regarding immigration, naturalization, and occupation that can lead to other records. | |||
*'''''Finding families:''''' Starting in 1850, all members of the household were listed in the census. By 1880, relationship to the head of household was added. | |||
