I think you found the right school, Penny. The web page you directed me to says the right time period for construction of this school and that there were a number of additions over the next several years.

Well the new year has begun. I hope you all enjoyed the holidays! Reporting in on Ada and Canyon counties ... I have made a few additions to those counties over the last few months. I am continuing to build a small database of WW1 soldiers that served with a specific Regiment in France and Germany. Some of that is already online. I add historic photos as I can. The next project may well be from a 1927 Boise High School year book. Oh, that reminds me ... I recently posted a picture of a high school that I cannot identify at http://ada.idgenweb.org/meridian-hs.htm . Hand written on the back is Meridian High School. It doesn't seem to be that at all. Maybe one of you will recognize it! The most important pages in Ada County have received a face lift since I took it on about two months ago. Ada now has a FreeFind search. Canyon County will be next. I like our leader's suggestion of a 'what's new' list for a county. A quick look at my list easily makes me feel guilty and gets me back to work! Idaho has been a busy place lately. Thanks to you all!

Well I can't quite compare with Sharon's end of year report, but we are still maintaining the best we can. Benewah, Latah & Nez Perce Counties are still alive and well...for the most part.

I have added Ferdinand Cemetery records w/some photos and am in the process of typing up the Greencreek and Keuterville cemetery listings. Will also be adding headstone photos to them. I have also been doing lots of research requests for Idaho County. I see lots of work being done on many of the county sites. They are looking great!

Oma Sanders from Boundary County here. We have swamped Mags with obits and pictures of the cemeteries here. A little history has been added with more in the works. Have more obituaries almost ready to send to Mags, but holidays have slowed us down a bit. Happy New Year to one and all, with hopes of peace and joy for each of you.

I am going to do the same for my three counties. It would be fabulous to hear a little summary from the rest of you, either as part of this roll call or separately. We especially welcome our new coordinators and look forward to getting better acquainted with each of you. Mike St. Clair IDGENWEB - State Coordinator

GEM CO.  -- I've created 42 new pgs since adoption May 6; New, major files are: 1) "Veterans Graves at Emmett Cemetery" (from local museum & VFW); 2) completed Sweet-Montour Cemetery inventory and added 510 headstone photos; 3) Ola cemetery inventory with 226 photos; 4) Pearl cemetery with 40 headstone photos. VALLEY CO -- Fifteen new pgs since adoption in May; major new file: 1) Valley Co. post offices & post masters. BOISE CO. -- Fifteen new pgs since adoption in June; major new files: 1) Boise Co. post offices & post masters; 2) Death records from Newspapers, files courtesy of Charlotte S., in progress. This is going to be an very important asset when completed; not only does it include death information for residents of the original Boise Co., but also elsewhere in the state, covering the pre-death certificate yrs.

Sounds good. I did think of another state project you might want to consider & that is "railroads or rail lines" in the state.  It would probably take a real RR buff to put it together. I spent a lot of time one winter, with a lot of dead ends,  trying to figure out how one branch could have come from Eureka, NV, to Gem Co. within a certain time frame. It sure would be helpful to have that info all in one place.

I'd like to establish a tradition of the State Coordinator reporting accomplishments to the project members at the end of each year and during the month prior to any election.  Here are what I consider the highlights of accomplishments during my first five months in office: * An Assistant State Coordinator was appointed and is functioning as my partner in coordinating activities within the state.  He has been enabled to step in and perform every function of the State Coordinator should that be necessary, and has been very actively involved in tracking down and solving problems. * A redesign and freshening of the state website was undertaken.  I wouldn't say that effort is finished, but it is substantially so.. (see: http://www.idgenweb.org/) * A standard url format for accessing counties within the state was created and made to work.  No matter where a county may reside at any point in time, adding the county name to the front of '.idgenweb.org/" takes the visitors to the correct county location. * A clickable map was created as an alternative way to reach any Idaho county. (see: http://www.idgenweb.org/idgenweb_main_county_map.php) * A state server account has been established at idgenweb.org to provide high capability websites for coordinators who want them. This has been funded by the state coordinator, but has not been very expensive,  at roughly $100/year.  At present 24 of our counties reside on the idgenweb.org server. Rootsweb is the server for 13 other counties.  Three county sites reside at USGENNET and 5 are on other servers chosen by their coordinators. * Monthly off-site backups are taking place for all accounts on the idgenweb.org server.  The last such backup took place on December 21st and included about 25,000 files and roughly 2.5 gigabytes of storage. * Three new county coordinators have been appointed to handle five vacant counties.  Three existing coordinators have taken on a total of four additional counties from among those vacant.  Nine counties remain on our vacant list as of the end of the year. (they are publicly listed at: http://www.idgenweb.org/idgenweb_main_counties.php) * Four coordinators were dropped from IDGENWEB because they were neither communicating with the project nor making updates to their websites. * The draft Volunteer Guidelines have been discussed and adjusted based on input from the project members.  These are ready for a formal vote after the end of year holidays. (see http://www.idgenweb.org/idgenweb_main_volunteers.php) * A new state special project was established to focus on Indian Tribes residing within Idaho, being early in it's development at this point. (not online yet) * Significant additions and improvements took place in many counties, and in many areas of the state website, including the postcard collection, map collection, and the Oregon Trail area. * Link checks took place covering the state pages and 10 counties, and corrections were made. * All vacant counties have been reviewed by the SC and ASC and any serious problems in the page coding and links have been corrected. * The coordinator's mailing list has become an active and productive discussion venue. * A monthly roll call has been implemented and is going smoothly. * Timely reports were submitted to the Election Committee identifying our current project membership and the assignments of each. * All County projects were reviewed and found to contain currently approved state and national logos. * A vigorous effort has been undertaken to ensure that we don't have any Rootsweb county sites that are purely redirects and in violation of their policies.  Those in violation have been corrected. * Significant improvement has been made in timely responses to requests from project members, although I do know that I have fallen short of what we all desire on a few occasions. I appreciate the time, effort and support you have all provided. It has been a pleasure working with and serving you.  Suggestions for me are always welcome.  If I ever disappoint you, I do want to hear about it.
