Hi Everyone, Just got a notice that census images are on line for the following. WISCONSIN 1860, 1910 Chippewa County http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/wi/chippewa/census/1860 http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/wi/chippewa/census/1910 Marilyn

This was received from a person on another list that I am on, and was written by someone on that list. We were asked to forward it on to other lists. "Ethics:" Hi everyone. This came as a message from the listowner for the Rockingham, New Hamspshire list that I belong to. I thought everyone ought to see what is going on. Mr. Marston has asked that we send this along to the lists we belong to so I am doing so. Please read the whole message to see what is going on. I think at the very least we ought to take it as a warning and a reminder that not all we find is correct information and just use it as a tool to look further. Lee Neilsen in Eastern Utah Dick Marston wrote: Listers: I have naively included a link to GenForum for those wishing to post and respond to Rockingham and Marston surname queries. Furthermore, I have innocently posted several responses on those forums.

hi Shelley, The picture did not come through. Please resend. I would like to forward it to my Dad. He was from Calais and may know the family. Thanks, Priscilla www.priscillapaul.com

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Frankie, Aurther, and Percy MCKNIGHT taken at the H. D. McKay Studio on Main Street in Calais, Maine. The photo appears to have been taken in the 1890s and the three children are approximately 2-5 years of age in the photograph. I have spelled the names just as they appear on the reverse of the photograph. I would guess that one of the three children is a female, however, with dresses for everyone it is sometimes difficult to tell. I'm hoping someone will recognize this family as their own so that the photographs can be returned to the family. So, if this is a member of your family or if you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Have attached the obit of Hannah Dustin to her husband Farnham in this cemetery. http://www.rootsweb.com/~nbpstgeo/stge4d1.htm Although not HIS obit it does contain biographical information that would be useful to anyone researching this family. So if you have an obit that pertains to a certain family, but the actual person is not listed on any of the St. George cemeteries, please send it anyway and I will find a place for it. Thank you..

Hello, While going through some boxes of papers this morning, I came across a Xerox copy of the marriage certificate from my great-grandfather's first marriage. In 1897 in Eastport, ME, George "Sanford" Kidder married Hattie May Chubbuck. Unfortunately, she died only 6 months after the wedding. (He remarried in 1899 .. Louise Wellington Rice.) KIDDER is my main research*, and, even after 8 years, I still have a lot to learn about the Kidder families in Princeton, Maine, from about 1850 to the present. However, I have gathered a few facts. "Sanford" Kidder's father was Joseph Kidder, and he was one of three brothers who owned large farms in Princeton, ME, in the late 1800's. Joseph married a Clarissa WILKINS. (She is also seen as having the name, Clara Wilson.) From an 1862 Census from NB, she was American-born. But, this Certificate states she was born in Canterbury. So, I know that not all information is totally correct on this marriage certificate. But, here, Joseph Kidder is listed as having been born in Milltown, ME. I looked on my road map, and I don't see that town listed. Would someone be able to tell me where it is? His father was J. Calvin Kidder, who grew up in St. Stephen, NB, and came back across the river around 1832 to settle in Calais, ME. He married Mary Jane Wilkins from Amity, ME, in 1834. And, I believe they lived in several towns between Calais and Amity, so I suspect Milltown was up there someplace. My great-grandfather's first wife, Mrs. Hattie Kidder, grew up in Meddybemps, ME. I did find that on my road map. Her parents were Martin and Clarissa Chubbuck of Meddybemps, ME. "Sanford" and Martin were both "woodsmen," so I suspect that's how they met. (Still searching for information on the Harmony Sawmill in St. Stephen, NB) Just thought I'd provide the above information, and ask about Milltown, ME. Betty (near Lowell, MA) P.S. Also still searching for information as to whether George Wilkins (Clarissa Kidder's father) and Mary Jane (Wilkins) Kidder (Mrs. J. Calvin Kidder) were related. (Both George and Mary Jane were born around 1800, and might have both been born around Amity, ME.)

The Washington County Genealogical Society will hold their first meeting of the 2001 season beginning at 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 24th at the Peavey Memorial Library in Eastport. The society was organized in the fall of 1992 and is open to all who are interested in family history and genealogy whether a beginner or advanced. Besides providing a networking system for researchers, WCGS promotes the preserving of records, photos and education opportunities for Washington County genealogists. Those attending are encouraged to bring research problems, share new findings, and suggest programs and activities for the coming year. Looking forward to the April meeting, Roxanne Moore Sauicer, editor of Family Ties for the Bangor Daily News, will be the featured speaker at the meeting to be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 21 at the University of Maine at Machias. She will discuss research at the Bangor Public Library and at the Fogler Library at UM Orono. The public is being invited to both meeting. For further information contact, Frances Raye, president at 853-6630 or Valdine Atwood, secretary at 255-4432. ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
