Good afternoon, If anyone can assist me, I'd be grateful. I'm seeking census info on 1- Joseph Greenwood Merrill b. 1830 in YArmouth, ME, m. Helen Marr Drinkwater - he would likely show in Yarmouth, Cumberland County. 2- John Franklin Hill, b. 1852 in Yarmouth, ME, m. Helen I. Merrill (dau of the above). Would love to get children's names and DOB on Helen I. Merrill Hill, if possible. Thank you in advance. Nancy

Hello- Could some one look up Samuel Crosby? Family lived in Clifton, Penobscot co., in 1850, so I would think he'd still be there? He was b. abt. 1822.

Laura, Thanks so much for your help. I went to GenWeb for ME and found 800 some messages and indeed there were a alot of 1837 listings. In scanning through I didn't see any for Piscataquis county, but then I don't even know that she was from that county. Certainly more food for thought and I do appreciate any ideas or information that you might have.

Hi Ted, Unfortunately, I'm not really sure. Because they're state schedules, I'm thinking that you'd probably want to contact the Maine State Archives and ask them about the availability of the various census records. I wish that I could be of more help but I can't find anything that says, specifically, where to locate them. :-/ Still Searching, Laura Meeks Quartz Hill, CA lmmeeks1@earthlink.net ---------- From: Ted Goodwin <tgoodwin2@juno.com> To: ME-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ME-CENSUS] census years Date: Friday, September 07, 2001 2:11 PM Laura, Do you know where these censuses can be viewed?

Sometimes individual states or towns did a census on the half decade. I found some in local histories this way. Check with your local library for this. I have the 1870 Maine census for York Cty only. I need a town since it is not indexed.

Hi Susan, According to The Source, edited by Arlene Eakle & Johni Cerni, 1984, Maine took state censuses in 1652*, 1674*, 1703*, 1753*, 1837, and 1906. Dates marked with an asterisk indicates that the census has been printed. 1837. State archives; incomplete. 1906. York Co, only; printed in The Saco Register with Old Orchard, Brunswick: H.E. Mitchell, 1906. I hope this helps. (Personally, I wasn't even aware of these state censuses. I'm glad that you asked!)

I would appreciate it greatly if some one with access to the 1860 census would look up Phebe P Barker, born in CT, who resided in Pittston, Kennebek County, ME. She had several children, one of whom will be Helen F. Barker, born in ME.

Hi listers, You have all been so helpful to me for my Prince family, I have a request for a friend. She is trying to find her great uncle's family. The Ramsells came to Maine in the mid to late 1800s. She was born and raised in Australia and later moved to Canada where she met and md her husband. They moved to the states in the 1970s. If anyone has come across this family name, please get back to me. Thanks very much for you time. Susan Eppich ps- The Ramsells were from somewhere in the British Isles, possibly England.
