History:
Blaine County was created in 1895. In the 1880's it was part of Alturas County which no longer exists. The county seat is Hailey. It consists of the small communities of Bellevue, Carey, Gannett, Hailey, Ketchum, Picabo, and Sun Valley.

November 12 2007 STEVENS I am doing genealogy and need some info.  I am searching for info on a Floyd Stevens who was married to a Letha Muriel Lillibridge, I was once married to Floyd's son, Larry and we had two children.  Floyd and Letha were married in Hailey 10-13-1938.I am looking for any relatives still living that can give me info on the Stevens family.  I would like to be able to continue this pursuit but need some help.    I'm not sure if Floyd is still living or not, but would like to know if he has any survivors, where he might be buried and if he remarried etc.  To my recolection I believe he is also of Cherokee decent, although this might be incorrect.

Thank you - Christie Miller

 

February 14 2007  HAMBLET,  ALFORD AND EMILY  I am searching for Alford G and Emily Hamblet.  They were born in New York in 1933 and 1934 respectively. They moved from KeyaPaha County, NE in the late 1800's and were residing in Blaine Co Idaho in 1900 and 1910 according to census records.

No record is found of them beyond that time. Does anyone know the whereabouts of these ancestors.

August 18 2005 BUSHNELL  I am looking for information on my great-great-grandfather, Kit Bushnell,
who married
Elva Scarbrough in Blaine County in 1896.  Apparently, they had one child in 1897, Douglas Robert Bushnell, and then Kit died around 1900.  I don't know if Kit is buried in Blaine county or if he was interred elsewhere (he was born in Iowa).  Also, I'm not sure if Kit is his given name or just a nickname, but it's the name that is found on his and Elva's marriage certificate.  Thanks for any help and information!
