== County Land Records == | |||
After land was transferred from the government by sale or grant to private ownership, it could be sold again, inherited, lost by foreclosure of a mortgage, or distributed through a divorce or other court action. Deeds, mortgages, and other transactions are recorded in each county by the clerk of the district court. Some county land records have been microfilmed and are available at the [http://history.idaho.gov/idaho-state-archives Idaho State Archives] and at the [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog FamilySearch Library]. Many county records have been microfilmed only from earliest to 1900. Later records are in the clerk's office in each county. | After land was transferred from the government by sale or grant to private ownership, it could be sold again, inherited, lost by foreclosure of a mortgage, or distributed through a divorce or other court action.
