Judith Glad's postcard collection is now located at: http://www.idgenweb.org/idgenweb_detail_postcard_index.php. If you have links to this collection at it's old URL, please update your link. If you haven't yet seen this, take a look. There are some very nice historic scenes within Idaho. Judith told me today that she also has many others and she is going to scan them as additions to this collection. If anyone else has something similar, I'd sure like to get scans of those as well.

Here are a few fairly recent additions to our stable of information. IDGENWEB Gazetteer - http://www.idgenweb.org/idgenweb_detail_gazetteer.php A lot of work yet to go, but here is a start. I started with a limited list of communities and am now working my way through the alphabet to add a lot more from a large set of gazetteer-like publications to pick up smaller and former communities. I'm on B now. Then I will go back and add information like Township-Range-Section, GPS coordinates, Altitude, population, when created, etc., whereever that information is available. Oregon Trail in Idaho - http://www.idgenweb.org/idgenweb_detail_trail.php This is an update of material that was located at the Rootsweb site but has not yet been available at idgenweb.org. Ethnic Groups in Idaho - http://www.idgenweb.org/idgenweb_detail_ethnic.php This is an update of material that was located at the Rootsweb site but has not yet been available at idgenweb.org. The link updating hasn't yet been finished. FamilySearch Pilot Index - Idaho Death Certificates - http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=collectionDetails;c=1546448 A fairly new rich index of Idaho Death Certificates from 1911-1937. Includes much information not available in other Idaho death indexes, like parents names. Bancroft's History of Idaho (from Judy White) - http://www.accessgenealogy.com/idaho/history_of_idaho.htm Mike St. Clair State Coordinator - IDGENWEB

Judy and Everyone, The drop down menu, the county link page and the county map have all been updated to take visitors to the new Bannock County website. And if anyone uses the URL http://bannock.idgenweb.org/ they will also be taken to the correct place. Good job, Judy.

My g-g-grandparents were William CRAMER & Ruth Jane Coggburn Cramer, who came west by wagon abt. 1886 "following" her brother, Jack COGBURN & wife, Liza Jane Boston Cogburn. He seems to have followed his brother in law, William BOSTON. First they went to the Nyssa area of Malheur Co, then Valley County, before homesteading north of Ola. Mills in "All Along the River" writes that many Missourians & Arkansasans cut ties in Valley Co. for railroad companies, so I think that is a likelihood. One of my g-grandmother's sisters married William PADDOCK, whose family was also in Taney Co. in 1880. Family tradition is that others traveled with the Cramers, but I haven't indenified them yet. ________________________________ From: Mike St. Clair/ST <mike@saintclair.org> To: idgen@rootsweb.com Sent: Tue, December 1, 2009 11:43:31 AM Subject: Re: [IDGEN] Taney County Connection I didn't know!  My dad was born in Taney and came to Idaho with his dad and brothers for a potato harvest, meeting and marrying my mom of Washington County.

Just as a side note (from experience)...Rootsweb will completely shutdown access to a site with a redirect. Hope you can catch it before they do. Tim Harper Benewah, Latah & Nez Perce CC

After looking at this more closely, I found that the death index records included on the page I just suggested fit better on the Idaho Records page. So if you were linking to the old "death.search' page, you might consider pointing instead to: http://www.idgenweb.org/idgenweb_main_records.php, which also has links to marriage, census, military and other records which cover the entire state. I will leave those old pages online, even though there will be no links to them. Mike St. Clair

Boundary County still adding things. We probably bogged down Mags with obits, and there are many more to add that I haven't sent to him yet.

Kerrie, You've got a very rich site. One idea that occurs to me is to post some early survey maps from the BLM plat surveys (http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/SurveySearch/Default.asp?Tab1=1&f1=ID&f2=&f4=&f6=&f3=&f5=&f7=) where there are several earlier than what's listed on your http://payettecounty.info/maps/intro.html. Another is to add some information from the GLO records for the homesteaders on your page (http://payettecounty.info/land/1882.html) such as where the land of the homesteaders was located. The FamilySearch Record Search Pilot now has a much richer searchable index to Idaho deaths than the ones you currently point to (note that you are pointing to an obsolete page at http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~idgenweb/deaths/search.htm, which should now be http://www.idgenweb.org/idgenweb_detail_deaths.php. I have added a link to this collection to the state page just mentioned, but you might consider a link directly to the Payette County collection at http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#collectionId=1546448;placeId=245;p=recordResults;eventPlace=Payette%2C%20Idaho%2C%20United%20States;searchType=standard. There are currently 1,466 Payette County deaths in this index. This isn't a complete replacement for the older indexes, because it only covers 1911-1937, but besides being searchable, it includes birth date and place, parents names, residence at death, and death and burial date and place. I suspect down the road it may include images as well, but it doesn't right now.
