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

But thanks for your work to help me. The tree you found is mine. What I am looking for is local Jefferson or Idaho sources. The common ones as found on Ancestry.com I think I have. I need not only about the song contest but of everything happening in Rigby, Ririe, Heise and Lorenzo areas, having any connection to the single man and dane Lars Ledet. He had farms in these areas in a period from 1903 to 1948. Lars (II) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

It is located next to the Rigby 1st and 4th Ward Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint building. Bybee was located out in the area now known as Annis, which is by Meanan, Idaho. I have googled to see if there is a copy of the sign on the net, but I am unable to find it so I plan to go take a picture of it and post it for those that care. Robert Lee Bybee was one of the individuals that helped name the town of Meanan. He homesteaded some of the area out there and was influential in its development. He later became an Idaho State Senator around 1901 and his picture is in the Idaho State Capital. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I have here in Denmark some of his papers and a pile of letters from him (also some to him). I am now beginning to look through these papers. In general I thus ask you if anybody has seen any sign of this Danish farmer, who in the thirtees was the Jefferson County peace judge and secretary in one of the canal associations? Then I would like to know about it. More specific I ask if anybody has heard of a Rigby event in 1911 that he writes about in a letter. He tells my grandparents that he attended a song contest in the nearest town, what probably must have been Rigby, he living near Lorenzo. There were individual singers and there were several choirs - from Jefferson County and places nearby.

But the brother of my granpa lived in the area in that period. He was called Lars Ledet and had first a farm near Lorenzo, then he lived a few years in Rigby and then for a long period he had a farm near Ririe. He told in letters home, that he - a bachelor - visited very often in weekends other Danish people in the area. And vice versa. That is why i now ask you, if you ever have heard of a Lars Ledet, visiting the Andersen Family or could have an idea if there could be a source to find out about him and his doing there.
