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.  
[[Image:Lake_Coeur_d'Alene.jpg|left]][[Image:Idaho_Map.jpg|right|160x180px]]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.
