Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb

You are doing a great job as state coordinator. If the county has not had
any response from the volunteer you have every right to take it over. My
websites do not reflect the work I do for the ancestors of the people who
lived in them in the past because I type up articles from the old newspapers
from 1865 - 1910. I have info that could be put on Boise county if the
coordinater wants it.

You all know I have been in the process of evaluating counties whose
coordinators have been missing in action. This month I will be announcing
several more counties that will become adoptable. Of that group, I have
chosen to appoint myself the coordinator of the county that seems to have
the least to offer visiting researchers at this time - Madison County. I
will be working to build up the value of the Madison County website, but
will be open to stepping aside for an enthusiastic volunteer who has a
stronger personal connection with the county or other motivation to turn it
from what looks to me like the "poorest cousin" in IDGENWEB at present, to
something of real value to researchers. I will be taking on Madison County
effective immediately, after having received no response to attempted
contacts with the former coordinator, including roll calls, and finding that
nothing has been done there for many years.
I invite and encourage you all to speak up if you ever feel I am stepping
out of line in any of my State Coordinator actions. My only desire is to
make this project more useful to the researchers and more rewarding to the
coordinators. I greatly appreciate the many of you who are actively working
on your websites. Thank you for your efforts. Do let me know if there is
anything I can do to help you.

In addition to the cemetery information and transcripts available at our county websites, there are a bunch of other sources of such information. I've created a new page (http://www.idgenweb.org/idgenweb_detail_cemeteries.php) that has links to four of these sources for each county. Feel free to grab the links for your specific counties and add them to your website's cemetery section if you think they would be useful. Note that some of these have a substantial amount of information. Those I included are:
The USGENWEB Tombstone Project
Find A Grave
Interment.net
The Idaho State Historical Societies list of all state cemeteries
If you are aware of any other site that offers free access to a lot of cemetery records covering all or most counties in Idaho, let me know and I will add them. Also, please let me know if you see any problems or desirable changes.

Thanks, Charlotte.
I'd love to assist in getting those articles online. The ideal would be to
have a scan of the article and a transcription like you have typed. What
papers are you using and where do you get access to them?

Hello Mike and Greetings All:
Your view on this is the correct one in my judgment. Every state in the
USGenWeb has county sites that are largely abandoned or updated on a
very infrequent basis. Part of this is the SCs that simply do not
respond to emails, such as from myself or other interested people. The
result is the sites that are seemingly never adopted and left to
languish for years! This of course only dissuades researchers and other
interested people to look elsewhere. Also, when a site is adopted, most
sites are never fully reviewed by the new CC. A few pages are added
here and there, a name and date are changed, and dead links and other
site content are ignored. I import my sites into a new application
which results in every page, every link, every graphic, and all text
being looked at.
Regarding my sites in the other state genwebs; most of the sites I took
over were either abandoned or not updated for 5 plus years. Two of the
sites had inappropriate content in terms of personal resumes, a crude
on-line store, personal letters, inappropriate graphics, links to porn
sites that were in these two sites for over 5 years. What message does
this send to any site visitor or researcher? Obviously, the CC never
looked at any of the previous and existing content.
I think the county sites should be reviewed by the SC and if the CC is
overwhelmed or cannot continue, then its just best to give up the site.
Volunteering to be a CC gives most anyone a very unique and rewarding
opportunity to directly preserve and promote history and genealogy, all
from the comfort of your home or office!
Thats my 2 cents worth.

At about 10 pm Mountain Time I'm going to start a server backup because we've had so much growth in the last few weeks I want to make sure the new material and changes have been backed up. It might impact the performance over night. It should be finished well before morning.

At this point within IDGENWEB we have only had County projects, but a new Idaho state special project is being created which will be called the Idaho Indian Tribe Project. We have always had a small amount of information relating to the Idaho reservations and tribes, but Judy White has agreed to take on the task of building something with more substance. I urge you all to encourage and support this effort where you have knowledge or access to resources that would fit. I also encourage you to let Judy know if there are any resources within your county sites that could/should be linked to from the special project.
Thank you, Judy, and I look forward to seeing what you develop. When that is ready, it will replace the current page on that subject and I will be linking it prominently from the state page.

Lemhi County has been added to our list of adoptable counties. The website is now located on the idgenweb.org server. If you have an adjacent county with a pointer to Lemhi, you should update your links to use http://lemhi.idgenweb.org/.
If you are interested in adopting this county, or know someone who might be interested, I'd love to hear from you.

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.

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...
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.

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.

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.
What are some of your Taney surnames?

> I'd like to invite feedback and kick off any needed discussion on the current draft guidelines for IDGENWEB so we can make progress towards formally adopting them. I do realize that some members would prefer to have no guidelines in place, relying instead on the good will of those who serve as volunteer coordinators. But having served in quite a few state projects over the last 10 years, I have come to learn that one disruptive project member can wreak havoc in the absence of any guidelines at all. I think there is a happy medium, and have attempted to craft these towards that moderate view. I have also received a few suggestions and incorporated them over time.

> The draft guidelines can be reviewed at http://www.idgenweb.org/idgenweb_main_volunteers.php. Note that there is descriptive material at the very top, followed by a set of requirements which must be followed by project members, and at the very end are a set of suggestions, which are felt to improve a website but are not required.
