Dedicated to Free Genealogy
This
website is part of the Genealogy Trails
family and our goal is to help
you track your ancestors through time by
transcribing genealogical and
historical data and placing it online for
the free use of all
researchers.
This
county site needs a dedicated host to make
this site the best that it can be!
If you
think that you
may be interested in volunteering to host
this site, or any of our
other
sites we have available, or to join our
Genealogy Trails Transcription Team,
please view our Volunteer
Information Page.
(A desire to transcribe data and
the know-how to make a basic webpage is
required.)

Benewah
County
was established January 23, 1915, by
an act of the state legislature
from the southern part of Kootenai
County and was named for a Coeur
d'Alene Indian chief. The county seat
is located at St. Maries, Idaho.
Some settlement began after completion
of the Mullan Road in 1860, but
most settlers came to the area after
the discovery of gold near St.
Maries in 1880. |

As your Idaho
State Coordinator, I try to post as much
source data online as possible in order to
make it freely available to all researchers.
We gratefully accept contributions of raw
data such as census information,
marriage/birth/death records, obituaries,
county histories, biographies, old newspaper
items - anything that would help someone
build their family tree! Feel free to email
me, Sandra Davis, with your
contributions - every little bit helps
someone!
I regret that I am unable to do
personal research.

Cemetery Information
A
wonderful source of genealogical
information that is very useful are
cemetery headstones. They provide key
data such as dates of birth,
marriage information and dates of
death. To submit headstone
