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 the
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)
Feel
free to email
us with any and all
contributions that you may have -
every little bit helps someone!
I
regret that I am unable to do
personal
research.

Established
February 8, 1919 with its county
seat at Jerome. Three sources for
the
name are commonly given: Jerome
Hill, one of the developers of the
North Side Irrigation Project; his
grandson, Jerome Kuhn, Jr.; or his
son-in-law, Jerome Kuhn. All were
important to the growth of the
county. The Minidoka Relocation
Camp, one of ten Japanese American
internment camps set up during World
War II, was located in Jerome
County, six miles North of Eden.

Submit 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.

information please click

Submit Obituary Information
Obituaries
are one of the most important tools used
by researchers in tracing
their family roots. Please consider
contributing any obituary
information that you may have by
submitting them here
and filling out the transmittal form.
Please
include your
email address should we have any
questions.

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
marriage/birth/death records,
obituaries, county histories,
biographies, old newspaper items, census
information, -
anything that would help someone
build their family tree! Feel free
to email
me, Sandra Davis, with
your contributions - every little
bit helps someone!

Remember
to look around at the other
states and consider donating
your source information.

Join Our
Mailing
Lists!!
Be sure to join
our
mailing lists for
researchers looking to
connect and share
information. You never
know
who you might meet and
what family data they
may share with you -- it
could start a whole new
branch of the family! We
also use the mailing
lists to announce our
website updates.
