Classification: Query
Since you know her name you could always post to the regular Rootsweb State boards for Idaho and ask someone to do a marriage lookup for her. Post her first and last name in the subject line just in case she is searching or someone may know her.

EXAMPLE
Subject: Need marriage lookup for ? ? in Rupert Idaho from 1970 to 1980.

If a marriage record is found for her you could always check for her husbands name at one of the free online telephone directory services like www.whitepages.com
or www.zabasearch.com




Idaho does not have Confidential Intermediaries.
Idaho is a Closed Records State

There is no explicit legal provision to allow for disclosure of non-identifying information, though no express prohibition of such disclosure exists, either.

Idaho DOES explicitly allow for direct court petitioning of adoption records WITHOUT showing "good cause" to do so. Petition the court in the county where the adoption took place.

Idaho DOES have a Mutual Consent Registry (see below).

Idaho Mutual Consent Registry
In Idaho, a mutual consent registry is operated by State Registrar of Vital Statistics. Adult adoptees, birth parents, biological siblings of adult adoptees and biological relatives of deceased adoptees and deceased birth parents may register. Identifying information respecting birth parents will not be released to an adult adoptee without the consent of the other birth parent UNLESS there is only one birth parent listed on the original birth certificate, the other birth parent is deceased, or the other birth parent cannot be located. No governmental employee may solicit a consent for release of information or registration with the registry. There is no provision for the release of non-identifying information.
Registry fee: $10
Contact for application:
Adoption Unit, Vital Statistics Bureau
Department of Health and Welfare
450 West State Street
Boise, ID 83720
Telephone: (208) 338-7000
Registry success: As of 1996, a total of 11 matches since the registry's creation in 1985.
Idaho Code 39-259A (1985)


IF YOU LOOK AT HOW MANY MATCHES THEY HAVE MADE SINCE 1996 I WOULD SAY THEY DON'T DO TO MUCH SEARCHING OR HELPING PEOPLE FIND THEIR FAMILIES.


You can post for free at www.isrr.net (International Soundex Reunion Registry) which is a non-profit site and they make many more matches than the state does.


You could post to the Rootsweb surname board just in case your mother is looking or someone who knows her sees the post. (Sorry but you would have to put her name in the post if you want someone to read and respond to it)
There are probably lots of boys born in 1973 in Rupert Idaho so if you don't specify it will be hard for someone to find you.
