Hi! Would anyone be going to the archives in the near future and be able to do a look up for me?? I would like to get a copy of the marriage certificate for the following couple: Joseph BASSETT and Mary WILSON, both residents of Campobello NB. Married on November 27 1837, in Washington Co., Maine. The information is found on Marriage roll #7, Vol 1 Page 9 . I am hoping the certificate will have the parents names of this couple. I will glady re-inburse for any fees incurred. Please let me know if you can help! Thanks!!

Hi Listers, The "New" GenConnect boards are mainly up and running, but the search engines are still not working correctly. Please have patience as the "powers" are slowly ironing out the bugs. In order to POST to the Boards, you must first get a user name. This is FREE! If you want to just look around, you don't need a user name. You CAN NOT click on the name of a poster and expect it to be a hyperlink the way the old boards used to let us. Old msgs on the boards PRIOR to June 22 are "called" Legacy messages. You WILL NOT see email addresses for posters. If you click on "Print Message", you can see the poster's email address. It will NOT print at this stage. When you "post" a query on any board, you will see a "Classification" box near the end of the screen. Initially it is blank, and IF you are ASKING a QUESTION leave this box blank. BLANK means your post is a query. Also, if you want to know when new msgs are posted on a board, once you get to the board you need to add it to your Notifications. Then, once a day you will get a list of new msgs from that board, instead of the old way where you got the notice EACH time a msg was posted. Another change.......if you click on Admin Info you should be taken to a page that shows links to the appropriate GenWeb site associated with that board. However Board administrators are still having problems setting this up, so again, have patience. I'm willing to take suggestions/ideas for changes to be made to the way the board work. What do you like, what don't you like, what should be changed. Hope this helps. Marilyn Maxwell Strout Charlotte Co. GenWeb

Hi Sharon & listers, Did anyone happen to "tape" last night's episode? I missed it. Didn't think the show was supposed to start until July. We are in the process of moving from home to camp for the summer and I didn't get my email until Monday morning! ARGH!!!!!!!! I'll pay for a tape if anyone has it. Marilyn

It was not shown out West that I know of, anyway not on my TV area, here in Western Washington. So I missed it also! Roger <<<<<<<<<< Genealogist Work Backwards! <<<<<<<<<<

For people with Eastport roots, you might be interested in watching "Murder in Small Town X." This eight episode series will begin tomorrow on FOX at 8:30 and then will air on seven consecutive Tuesdays on FOX at 9:00. This series was filmed in Eastport with many local people as extras.

I know very little about the Demmons, Demons or Damons. Deulah was undoubtedly, though, dau of Gamaliel Demmons, he the only one of these surnames in Machias in this period and the only one in Wash Co to use this spelling. that he is the person you are looking for is confirmed in Gamaliel's Rev War Pension File @24030 in which Stephen Gardner represents Gamaliel's widow is living with him and that he, Stephen, had married a dau of Sol & wid. Gamaliel b Duxbury, MA Jan 1754. One David Gardner attested that Gamaliel's widow Helena was nee Gardner and he was at her wedding. I suspect this is David Jr, and Helena may be his sister. If so, these Gardners were from Nantucket, MA. Good Luck Jerry Gower

Hi! I've just completed the monthly update to the Campobello pages located at http://www.rootsweb.com/~nbcampob/ This month I've added: 31 Obituaries Added (Surnames Mathews/Matthews, Mitchell, Newman Added) 3 Deeds added under Misc. Pages People are often surprised to find out I work "full time", am married and have two young children. I am often asked "How do you do that and the site to?" Well, for the past 18 months the majority of my life has been spent on this computer working on the site most nights from 6pm-11pm, leaving little time for family. For personal reasons I have made the decision to "cut back" on my time on the computer, which means the content of the site updates will not be as large. As always...if you would like to help out by transcribing records for the site or if you have information, obituaries, vital stats, church or cemetery records pertaining to Campobello please contact me and I would be happy to have them placed on these pages. Have a GREAT Summer everyone!

Hi Everyone, just got a link to this story which is interesting. Marilyn http://www.ImagineMaine.com/directories/Archives/Calais.html

Good morning, In my continuing search for any and all information about KIDDER families in Maine ... from 1765 to the present, I'd still love to hear about all Kidder's who settled in Maine, especially in Washington County, Maine.* However, I'd like to ask some specific questions: o Someone has provided me with some records from "Vital Records from Eastport Sentinel of Eastport, ME, 1818-1900," which state that the youngest child of Calvin and Mary Kidder was: JAMES THOMPSON KIDDER, B. 1847 IN CALAIS, ME. In 8 years of looking, I have not yet found any other information on this... James Kidder, b1847. Would anyone know whether he did live to adulthood, marry, and have children? (Note: This list is not complete, as Calvin and Mary had another daughter born to them: Mercy Kidder, b1850.) (Two of their children died as teens, thus did not make it to adulthood.) o One of my sources of information in the past were the Town Clerks in Princeton, Maine. My last (slow-mail) letter from Grace Hiland was from 1998, and she was just beginning the humungous job of computerizing the Town Hall records. ......... Would someone be able to tell me if the Princeton Town Clerk ... has a web site or an e-mail address? o In my line of Kidder men there were ... two Calvin Kidder men who began the Kidder history in Washington County; they were father and son: Calvin Kidder (1765-1799) and .. J. Calvin Kidder (1799-1891). In my long research, I have gathered the names of the ~20 grandchildren of Calvin and Mary (Wilkins) Kidder. They came from their three sons who grew to adulthood, John, Joe, and Cal, Jr. Even though that name, Calvin, was carried through 3 generations, I have not yet found a Calvin Kidder in the fourth generation. ........ And, yet, several people have told me about a Calvin Kidder who was still living, and another Calvin Kidder who was alive in the early 1900's. ........ Does anyone have any information at all about someone, named or nicknamed, Calvin Kidder, in Maine in the 1900's? o Just a few nights ago, someone ..finally.. provided me with the name of the first Calvin Kidder's wife. From the Anglican Church Records of St. Andrew's, NB, depending on how you read the handwriting was either ... Mary Greenlaw or Mercy Greenlaw (probably born around 1765 in either ME or NB). Either name is believable. I have a record of a Mrs. Mary Kidder dying in Portland, ME, in 1819. And, yet, Calvin Kidder had a granddaughter, named Mercy Kidder, b1850. ......... Calvin Kidder and Mary/Mercy Greenlaw married in St. Andrews, NB, in 1797, and they had a son born to them in January 1799... in St. Stephen, NB. .... In February 1799 Calvin was killed in a boating accident. .... I as yet have no idea how the widow, Mrs. Mary/Mercy Kidder, and her newborn son, spent the next 30 years (1799-1830). The son, "Calvin" Kidder, did not emerge again in records until 1830, when he appeared to move to Calais, ME. *GOOD NEWS: Because of my research, and queries placed in many places, both on-line and in newspapers and YANKEE, I have found about a half-dozen "very/very distant cousins" (all descended from Princeton, ME). But, I also have a few Kidder pen-pals from Maine. One of them is a gentlemen, named Earl Kidder from Auburn, ME. He does not have a computer. During the past four months, I have connected him up with a niece in South Carolina, and a long-lost grandson, who is currently stationed in ICELAND. (Computers are GOOD! :o) Thank you for your time! Have a great day! Betty (near Lowell, MA)

Hi Listers, Got the following from another list, thought it might interest someone. Marilyn The Maine Secretary of State's Office has a new on-line corporate search service that may be used to find organizations by words in their name - such as foundation, dance, historical, cultural, music, etc. It returns the full name of all matching organizations and the "clerk/registered agent" name and address which, though sometimes an attorney's office, offers a link to that group. Begin at http://www.informe.org/icrs/ICRS then click the Get Started button, check the search tips for "wildcard" searches. -------------------------------------------------------- Jim Henderson, Maine State Archivist 84 State House Station, Augusta, ME 04333-0084 Voice: 207-287-5793; FAX 207-287-5739 http://www.state.me.us/sos/arc/
