Book Description

This collection is mostly made up of typewritten transcripts of various local records. It is broken up into two series; the first two boxes comprise the first series, and the last two boxes are the second series. The first series has town records, and the second series has the history of individual families. There are vital statistics reports, gravesite information, cemeteries, census reports, town records, and other types of information. There is also some information about Revolutionary War soldiers, especially their pensions. There are some miscellaneous genealogical records, such as Bible records, which do not concern a specific family or town. Towns represented include Dresden, East Winthrop, Hallowell, Lincoln, Lincolnville, New Gloucester, Readfield, Skowhegan, Smithfield, Standish, Starks, Swanville, Union, Unity, Vassalboro, Vienna, Waldoboro, Warren, Washington, Wayne, Westbrook, Westport, Windsor, Winthrop, and Wiscasset.
