Hi Listers, The following census are now on line. Hope someone finds a tidbit. Marilyn WISCONSIN 1860 Pierce County http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/wi/pierce/census/1860/ 1850 St. Croix http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/wi/stcroix/census/1850/

Hi, I have found out that Donald Drillen passed away on Sept 2, 1946 and was from Milltown. Would someone also look up Hazel Drillen McConvey. She is the daughter of Donald Drillen and Basha Calwell. She passed away March 8, 1963 in Calais or might be Milltown. Thank you. Linda Drilling

Hello, Could someone please do a obit look up. I have a Donald Drillen still alive on April 13, 1942 according to his brother Alonzo Drillen's obit. That makes him about 86 years old. I have his date of birth year about 1856 and he was born in the Grand Lake area (Waterboro/Mill Cove), Queen's Co., New Brunswick. Thank you. Linda Drilling

Hi Ken, Calais is just "ovah the rivah" from St. Stephen, Charlotte County, New Brunswick. I'm "away" from my resources this weekend, BUT, will be happy to check them out for your WHITNEY family first part of next week. In the meantime, try checking out the various resources that include census transcripts at Charlotte County GenWeb at http://www.rootsweb.com/~nbcharlo/ St. Stephen Parish GenWeb at http://www.rootsweb.com/~nbststep/ St.Stephen & Calais are separated by a bridge and even though it's an international border, families went back & forth then and now, as if they were just "going across the street". Good Luck, Marilyn at Charlotte County GenWeb

Hello, Does anyone have info. on a Edmund Dougherty who was listed in Calais, Mains census of 1850? I was hoping to find out who his children were and more about him. There was also a mention of a Lorenzo R. Keen (could be Lorenzo D. Keen) living with Edmund Dougherty. Is there more info on Lorenzo Keen? Thank You, Mrs. Robin M. Stinson

Hi Listers, Just to let you know that I have updated Dumbarton Web Site with Photo's and additonal names in St. Patrick's RC Cemetery - courtesy of Charlene Beney. Joan McLeod Coordinator Dumbarton Parish www.rootsweb.com/~nbcharlo/

Marriage intentions were filed at Calais for Benjamin Franklin REED and Harriet Emaline WHITNEY on 27 May 1854. To date I have been unable to connect her to any WHITNEY family in Washington county. He was born in Claremont, NH 9 Nov 1825. She was born 12 Feb 1829, ostensibly in Maine. I have been operating on the assumption that SHE was the one with residence in Calais. It is said that at an early age he left home to live with an uncle. I had assumed that the uncle lived in NH. With the remote chance that the uncle instead lived in Calais and that this is why the intention is filed in Calais, what do we know of the REED line in Calais. With REED being such a common name, I am sure that there is a line in Calais, but is it mine??? Thanks

Hi Listers, I just rec'd the following from another list I'm on and think you might find it interesting. Marilyn From: "Henderson, James" <James.Henderson@STATE.ME.US> Subject:Federal Government Wants to Restrict Research in Birth Records To: MCULTR-L@LISTS.MAINE.EDU Just got a copy of a letter from the U.S. State Department asking states to restrict access to all birth records. "In order to protect the integrity of those vital records and the issuance process, we believe it is important that states restrict the inspection of a birth record only to the individual named on the record, immediate family, legar guardians or their authorized representatives." Well, that should slow down the genealogy research folks! Let alone other research efforts. No cut-off date is mentioned, so Thomas Jefferson's birth record would be off limits, let alone those of his children. O.K. This was just a "request" to help prevent passport fraud. However, the Archives is not in the business of restricting access to public records. The current administration may be setting the stage to close these records by law. As more records are closed in the name of "privacy," citizens loose a bit more control over their public records, and their government. The "cause of death" is currently restricted on modern death certificates in Maine. While that protects people's current privacy, it masks trouble in medical facilities that routinely list the cause of death as "cardiac arrest" or whatever, when the real cause was a procedural failure. If these were public, patterns of alleged causes could be identified and reviews undertaken. While regulators might do that now, often it is public scrutiny, such as in environmental cases, that leads regulators to do what they should. Ah, that felt good! -------------------------------------------------------- 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/
