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.
