Has everyone heard that Ancestry is closing down the Rootsweb mailing lists in March? Is the admin of this list going to try and migrate the group somewhere else? We have started a new Idaho Genealogy message board/mailing list at "Groups.io" ( https://groups.io/g/IdahoGenealogy ) We want to place links to any county groups or specialized Idaho lists or groups on the home page. Of Course, anyone interested in Idaho genealogy is encouraged to join this new group I hope to hear from you RandyC

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Claud and Walter WORSHAM which was taken at the J. J. Pierson Studio sometime in the 1880's. Claud and Walter appear to be about 5-10 years old at the time the photograph was taken. A note on the back is written to Joseph C. WINGFIELD from Lucy which says "These are the pictures of my two little boys, Claud and Walter WORSHAM" and "From Your Sister Lucy, Trusting in Jesus" and "Write and tell me if you got them". Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding these boys and their family: Claude or Claud Robert WORSHAM was b. 18 Dec 1879 in Malheur, OR to parents Robert William WORSHAM (1839-1914) and Lucy E. WINGFIELD (b. 11 Dec 1842 in Charleston, KY-d. 7 Jul 1923 in Malheur City, OR- dau of Joseph T. WINGFIELD and Hannah M. KNAPP). Claude was one of 8 children born to this couple including, Adelbert or Delbert W.; Florence Emmarine (married WOODCOCK); James T.; Laura; David Knapp; Charles; Claude or Claud Robert; and Walter Nicholas WORSHAM, all born between 1862 and 1884. Claude married Lora GARDNER (1877-1967) and together they had two children including Mildred WORSHAM (1904-1973) and Orville Hiram WORSHAM (1908-1965). Claude died 19 Dec 1950 and is buried in the Canyon Hill Cemetery in Caldwell, ID. His brother Walter Nicholas WORSHAM was b. 30 Sept 1884 in Malheur, OR and married twice, first to Maybelle YOUNGER (1890-1906) and second to Irene BOWMAN (1882-1978). Walter died 26 Mar 1963 in Baker City, OR. Census records provide the following details: 1850 census of Clackamas, OR Territory: Joseph T.

I've "rescued" an old daguerreotype photograph of Margaret MCCLURE HONNOLD which was taken when she was just an infant. A note with the photograph indicates that she was the wife of J. R. HONNOLD.

The goal of the group is to promote Genealogy with the recording of Pioneerâs and their descendantâs while also preserving and recording Cumberland Gapâs history. The CGTGHG hopeâs the Nation will get behind the group by submitting pioneerâs names, stories, pictures and Genealogies to be preserved for future generations to come. The CGTGHG will be having a newsletter 4 times a year and will have memberships available on different levels more on that to come.

Is any one on the list who is researching the family of Thomas Emanuel Pritchard and Eugenia Emaline (unknown)? Thomas came to Canyon Co circa 1890 and died there per his tombstone on 30 Nov 1897. He is buried in the Ten Davis-Lower Boise Cemetery, Notus, Canyon Co, ID (may also be called the Pioneer Cemetery of Parma, ID.) His widow remarried in 1907 to James Pryor. She died 1 July 1913 and is buried in the same cemetery. Thomas and his wife had a large family, one of whom, Ernest Pritchard is my husband's grandfather. I have a list of the children but not all the statistics for them. I also don't have Eugenia's maiden name nor parents, etc. I am lacking a birth place and parentage for Thomas, although supposedly he was born in England. Would love to hear from anyone working on this family. Renee L. Dauven

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Orlo WILCOX which was taken at the J. W. Bates Studio in Payette, Idaho. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900's with Orlo likely in his teens or 20's at the time it was taken. I also believe that this is the same Orlo WILCOX who appeared in earlier photographs I posted (July 2011) which were taken at studios in Oregon State. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding Orlo and his family: Orlo K. WILCOX was b. 16 Jun 1881 in Corning, KS to parents Oliver Kent WILCOX (b. 6 Aug 1847 in MI) and Sarah Jane PURVIS (b. 13 Jan 1840 in Sullivan, IL). The couple had 4 children including, Francis Everett; Arthur Lemon; Oliver Wesley; and Orlo Kent WILCOX, all born in Wyandotte, Reno, or Nemaha Counties in KS between 1875 and 1881. Orlo married Bertha Emily WILSON (b. 22 Oct 1886 in Washington, KS) on 16 Jun 1909 in Linn Co. OR and together they had 7 children including, Helen Lucille; Donald W.; Mary Faye; and four others born in Oregon and Idaho. In 1910 the couple was in Fruitland, ID and Orlo died 16 Jun 1970 in Granada Hills, CA. I am hoping to be able to return the photograph to a member of this family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Scott BRAINARD of Payette, Idaho which was taken at the Bates Studio in Payette.

Scott BRAINARD (b. Oct 1862 in IL) and Gertrude A. ? (b. Oct 1865 in NY). Scott was one of three children born to the couple including Scott Byron; Lawrence Woodruff; and a third unnamed, all born between 1890 and 1910. Scott married Bessie or Bess L. CREE (b. 8 Jun 1894 in Fostoria, KS) on 27 Jun 1916 in Canyon Co. ID. Census records provide the following information: 1920 census of Oakland, CA: Scott B.

Judy, Report of the fire would have been reported by "Boise Statesman", "The Caldwell Tribune" or the "Nampa Free Press" The Caldwell & Nampa papers merged in the 60's or 70's and became the "Idaho Press Tribune" Huston is located closer to Nampa and Caldwell than Boise.

Based on weekly and monthly reports I get from the search engines.. There are best results to obtain: The BEST Results?? Be mindful - all lists are always "SURNAME, given name" Three best ways with QUOTEMARKS " 1. "Surname, " (put a space after , then ") 2. "Surname, given name" (don't bother to try for middle name (middle names produce poor results) 3. ", Mary" - will work if you are not sure of married name but will produce a LOT of results! 1. Don't bother trying without quotemarks, you get more unwamted results. 2. Don't try county name, just go to the county list and you get more results there. 3. Don't try state name, just go to the state in question and browse. 4. Don't try these words - probate, guardianship, etc. Just go to appropriate sections. You get better results. http://www.sampubco.com/

My step-grandfather, William Wayne Morrow (1921-2010), just passed away and has requested that his ashes be placed with his daughter, Jenny Morrow. Jenny died at the age of 5 years old from being raped while they were living in the Nampa Valley. We do not know where Jenny Morrow is buried though. We figure that her death must have taken place either in the late 1950's or the 1960's. Any help that someone can provide would greatly be appreciated. Thanks, Byron Holdiman (byron@holdiman.us) Quincy, IL

I recently received some records from my grandparents' estate and there was a record of a funeral for a person I have not come across before in my research: Mrs. Nellie E. Montgomery. I do not have her maiden name, only her dates and some locations: born October 5 1902 in Bolivar, MO and died November 3 1976 in Nampa, ID (confirmed in the social security death index). Does anyone have this person in their records? Sandi in Boise

Judy, while I don't know if any of the old material is available on-line, the Idaho Press Tribune has been printing since 1893. There was also the Caldwell Tribune and the Caldwell News but I can't tell you the years they were published. I believe it might have been in the 1920's. Bev

Hi, I found the wonderful database of Idaho Daily Statesman newspapers online on ancestry.com, and was able to find many mentions of Loran Tompkins' family up to 1902, which seemed to be the last newspapers in that database. Can you tell me if another newspaper then started up that would have detailed the lives of Caldwell/Nampa residents? I'm trying to determine how long he remained in that area and possibly when his wife Ida died. Thanks. Judy
