Upper Snake River
Valley Idaho Histories
The collection is comprised mainly of short historical sketches of
pioneers who settled in the Upper Snake River Valley between 1883 and
1893. The histories were written by members of the Daughters of the
Pioneers of the Upper Snake River Valley and presented at meetings of the
club.
In addition, the collection contains a brief history of the meetings,
elections and programs of the Daughters of the Snake River Valley Pioneers
from 1924-1950.
Gold Mining in Alturas County, Idaho
In 1860 gold was discovered on Oro Fino Creek by a
party of prospectors led by Captain E. D. Pierce of California. In
1861 the Salmon River mines were discovered, while a search for a
rich central gold deposit was made by prospectors, revealing the
Florence diggings.
Western States Historical Marriage Records Index
Over the past decade, the BYU-Idaho (formerly known as Ricks College)
Family History Center has been extracting early marriage records from
counties in the western part of the United States. Virtually all of the
pre-1900 marriages are included in the index for Arizona, Idaho and
Nevada. Many Idaho, Nevada and Utah counties have been extracted into the
1930's and some, much later. A significant number of marriages from
Wyoming, eastern Washington, eastern Oregon, western Colorado and selected
counties in California are also included. For more details, see "List of
Counties by State".
Eastern Idaho Death Records
This Index contains information collected over the past decade at the
Idaho Falls Regional Family History Center. It contains records which are
primarily from southeastern Idaho and adjoining areas. Among the
information sources are the newspaper obituaries, cemetery records,
funeral home records, funeral programs, sexton records, and grave
headstones. Information from over 200 cemeteries in southeastern Idaho and
western Wyoming are included. This index also includes records of
individuals from other localities who have died in this area or whose
obituary appeared in local newspapers.
