I have been using this new database and have found new sources to add to my Maine people of that time period, and getting some new parent’s names to give me new lines to research. Maiden names!!! I’m not finding every one of course, but enough so far to say it will be a good source for me. I have Maine-iacs back to forever. Finally, a new database to help me!

They are removed by the blog administrator. The Town records are on ~many~ CDs; some individual Town records are on 3 or more. You can find the publisher by an internet search for "Press" and Rockland. Carol, your #7: I and many others would not like to have these blogs include commercial messages.
