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

We would like to announce the forming of a new organization the Cumberland Gap Tennessee Genealogy and History Group, A.K.A (CGTGHG) which propose to record and preserve. 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. You can go to our website at [1]cgtghg.org or [2]facebook.com/cgtghg Thank You, David A Nelson Jr Website and Social Media References 1. http://cgtghg.org/ 2. http://facebook.com/cgtghg

The May 2013 FamilySearch User Newsletter talks about "New from the Vault," and tells you how to find them, these school records are there. In many cases this includes parents names, all the children 6-16 along with their dates of birth. Be forewarned, the data is not 100% accurate but it is another data point.

When you post, identify the person you seek and some criteria information (Their DOB is ALWAYS helpful, their DOD and POD also helps, spouse name, siblings, parents) If the name is common (John Smith), the more you identify the better. In man cases, an obit may not have been published, but there are other records that might be available (Census, State Archives, Recorded Documents, Grave info, etc).

Oh, don't we wish they'd written it down! I found the following articles that explain some points on why settlers moved to Gooding County, Idaho. Land was cheaper. Idaho History and Genealogy, gesswhoto.com/idaho/union-pacific-barg... Blaine County Idaho, co.blaine.id.us/ rootsweb.ancestry.com/~idgoodin/ It looks like people originally came for the silver mining and after that bust, sheep raising became the next big "industry". You should be able to find books in your local library that explain the history of Idaho counties or do a Google search. 2. Won't know unless he bought land there or his obituary. Do you have a copy? 3. I believe that Richard went to Idaho because of what his father said about the State. Richard was living in Oakview, Boyd Co., KY in 1910 and died 1 Feb 1912 in Boise, Ada Co. To answer this question, you'll need to find him in the Boise City or Ada County Directories. There is an Idaho Historical Library volunteer at Random Acts Genealogical Kindness. Go to raogk.org Choose Idaho Click on A thru E Scroll down to Ada Co. and choose Bonnie. Do you have a copy of his obituary? Bonnie can look that up too. 4. The how Richard died might be in his obituary. Richard Crooks Born: 6 Feb 1883 Died: 1 Feb 1912, Boise, Ada Co. per death cert #001411. Source: Idaho Death Index 1911-51. If it isn't you'll need to order a copy of his death certificate. 5. Won't know why Charles moved to Idaho unless it's in his obituary. Won't know when unless he's listed in a Wendell City or Gooding Co. Directory. A Charles Gibson Crooks Born: 17 May 1888 Died: 3 Jan 1942, Wendell, Gooding Co. per death cert #127544. Source: Idaho Death Index 1911-51. There is an obituary volunteer at raogk.org Choose Idaho Click on F thru Z Scroll down to Gooding Co. and choose Coy. Ask him/her about directories in the County. Also the Gooding County Historical, goodingcountyhistoricalsociety.shutterfly.com/obituariesforgoodingcounty goes research and might have the directories. 6. Charles's cause of death might be in his obituary or you might need to order a copy of his death certificate. Successful Searching!
