This page includes a compilation of individuals receiving Carey Act Final Certificates and Land Patents from the State of Idaho-- 1909-1911 and 1916-1917. These are found in the Lincoln County Grantor Indexes on microfilm at the Idaho State Historical Society Library and Archives (Roll 7, Item 1, Family History Library Film #1533021). Copies of the actual documents may be obtained by writing to the Lincoln Co., ID County Recorder, using the appropriate Grantee Name, Record, Volume, and Page Number information, Additional records, which are not yet compiled here, may be found by checking the film listed above. During the described time period, Lincoln County included now Jerome and Gooding Counties, as well as present day Lincoln County. Jerome and Gooding Counties were split off from Lincoln in 1919. The Final Certificates and Land Patents were for lands included in the Idaho Irrigation and Twin Falls Northside Projects in those three counties. Please see FAMILY DATA in IDAHO CAREY ACT RECORDS for details about Idaho Carey Records, their Genealogical Value, and obtaining copies of individual land entry information from original records held by the Idaho Department of Water Resources. Most of the recordings are for Final Certificates (FC). A Final Certificate is a document that was issued by the State of Idaho stating that the Carey Act Entryman had complied with all provisions of the Carey Act Homestead law and was, therefore, entitled to a Land Patent (P). A Patent is a "Deed", which actually transfers the land title from the State to the entryman. In many cases, only the FC was recorded in the Lincoln County Records, even though a subsequent patent was issued. A Final Certificate officially bestowed equitable title to the entryman.
