Revision as of 04:10, 5 June 2010

Welcome to the Idaho 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 invite you to add whatever you know about the records of the county or counties 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.

J B Parker, Project Leader

Current Tasks needing volunteers:

  • Proofreading and verifying of links -- Some pages need to be prooread for typos and the links on those pages verified.
  • City and town pages -- New pages need to be created for cities and towns in some counties, using a prototype with formatted headings
  • Other tasks will be added later


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). A sub-heading regarding Judgment Books will be added under this heading.

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 and 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.

Miscellaneous Series[edit | edit source]

This set of records exists in most counties and includes a variety of subjects of interest to genealogists and family historians. A descriptive statement regarding them will be added.

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.

Libraries and Historical Societies[edit | edit source]

Information about local libraries and/or historical societies with manuscript collections regarding the history of the locality and genealogy of its residents should be indentified and added, with links as appropriate.

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.
