I'm looking for a researcher to do some work for me at the Penobscot County Registry of Deeds, for a house history project. Anyone interested? How much will it coast? - Jeanne

NANCY ---- I dont know where Peter Haggerty & wife Nancy McGuire lived in New Brunswick . Finding where they were located is part of my quest. I know the following: 1. Their tenure in NB was ~ 5 years from <1828-1831. USA/INS records state that they entered the USA, Bangor ME, 1831. When they arrived in NB Canada from Co Donegal Ireland is not known precisely, family legend indicates that they arrived ~ 1825. 2.There is a record at St Dunstans RCCh in Fredericton NB that their oldest duughter, Mary-Ann, was bap. there, 13 September 1829. USA census support the fact that she was NB born. Precisely where in NB is not known, but she was probably born in the Fredericton NB area.. 3. USA census records support the fact that Peter & Nancy's 2nd daughter, Bridget Sophia, was born in NB Canada, but again, precisely where is not known. 4. Peter Haggerty (and partners) also received, it is recorded, in 1828, a land grant for 598 acres at Alston Point, Town of Bathurst, Gloucester Co, NB. I'm now trying to contact the local RCCh to find a supporting record. 5. Peter & Nancy resettled, after Bangor ME, in the Houlton ME area, near Woodstock, Carlton Co, NB. Some of their later kids were bap. at St Gertrude's RCCh there. They were parishoners there, I think, because there was'nt any other RCCh in the Houlton ME area at that time. But I dont positively know that they were not residents in Woodstock, Carlton Co, NB at that time. 6. I'm not aware that Peter & Nancy had any Haggerty siblings or relatives in NB, ME or anywhere. Although I've found other Haggerty's at that time in both NB & ME. Thankyou for your interest & I hope that you come up with something.

We're looking for a needle in a haystack, so will try all avenues. A search from an English woman involves a Maine soldier (Bob), stationed in England in WW II. His family had a sawmill/lumber yard, which his mother ran while he was overseas His last name started with "M" and "was pronounced" as one of the above. Not much to go on, but perhaps it will ring a bell with someone, who could connect the Maine family with the English people who remember Robert with affection. If you have any information which might lead to this connection contact Sally Vincent at Salvin@lineone.net. Muriel S. Parker, Librarian John B. Curtis Free Public Library Bradford, ME

I am looking for any information on OLIVER FROST, the son of Sarah Frost-Russell. She came to Maine in the 1780s with her second husband, Abel Russell, and the two sons of her first marriage, Oliver and John Frost. They lived in Fayette. Oliver appears (at least I think it is him) in a court case in Readfield in 1803, and I think he might have gone to Bangor where he might be the one that is listed in the 1810 census for Bangor. I would like to know if he married and who his children were, and where he went after 1810. Thanks! Phil Noss

Hi List, Not sure whether this is the correct list, however hope SKS can point me in the right direction. My interest lies in the towns of Brewer and Bangor on the Penobscot River, specifically the shipbuilding industry in Brewer back in the 1860's. Do we have some shipping history buffs on this list?? Thanks and regards Janine Hinton Perth, West Australia. PS Hope you all enjoyed the games.

I'm seeking information on my 2nd gr-grandfather, Francis GIFFORD, who lived in Old Town between 1822 and 1877. So far I know, He was b. in Canada 1822, d. Old Town, 7 August 1877. His wife's name was Margaret ______; she d. in Old Town, 11 September 1869 Their son, John V. Gifford was b. Old Town, 13 September 1844. They also had a son, James, who was born in 1843, probably in Old Town This information came from family records and the 1850 Census.
