Hi there Listers: This Saturday at 2:30 p.m. in the Riverview Room of the Ellsworth Public Library, we will have another meeting of the Hancock County Genealogical Society. After the short business meeting, we will have a Search & Share session. We'd like to take this opportunity to ask for a volunteer who would be willing to be the newsletter editor for our group. The present editor is no longer available. If one of you is so inclined, please let someone from our group know as soon as possible. Hope to see you there at the meeting. Have a nice day. I think spring may be coming someday! J of J & J (Joyce), Secretary, HCGS P.S. Thanks again to the List Owner for letting us announce our meetings.

Hi Listers, For what it's worth...........The complete 1880 Census images are now online at RootsWeb for North Dakota. Here's how you would find Traill County............... http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/nd/traill/census/1880/ To find others county census images, erase the URL back from the last slash to nd/ then you can check each county. Hope this helps someone, Marilyn

Lee-Anne, It usually meant an adult mentally inferior to a child three years of age. I'm not sure the definition was uniformly applied, or exactly where they drew the distinction between "adult" and "child".

Hi List I saw on a 1850 census for Oliver Willey twin brother to my Orrin Turu Willey that one of his children were labeled IDIOTIC. What did that mean exactly, or what might it have meant? Lee-Anne Smithson Dahms New Gloucester, ME sdahms@maine.rr.com

Hi Newell and thank you!! You do have a great site! I have found 4 census already! 1850 Census list Orren and Rachel Willey with their son my gg grandfather George W. Willey. 1860 the same, another on the 1860 my Susan E. Guptill with her parents Nahum and Susan Guptill!!! Then on the 1870 census George W. Willey and Susan E. Guptill as head of household and Rachel, Orren's wife living with them at age 72. My great grandfather Harold E. Willey, George and Susans Son wasnt born until 1876 in Cherryfield and none of them are listed on the 1880 census so they must have moved to Windham Maine by then. I have only checked the 1900 census and have found George living with Lena his daughter in Windham. Susan Guptill Willey was not alive then. I have not been able to figure out the Willeys or the Guptills because so many of them intermarried and also had children named after others. I FINALLY know that my Susan E. Guptill is the daughter of Nahum Guptill and Susan. Thank you so much for putting all of this information up for everyone to benefit! I have also found some of them in your grave listings. I havent found George W., he must be in one that is not posted by gravesite. Again thank you! Also thanks to all you other people who have helped and gave me suggestions on where to look!

Hi Cindy ~ I found the below at the LDS Family History Center online ~ Hope it helps somehow :) ~Maryann~ Joseph CLARK Sex: M Marriage(s): Spouse: Sarah FROST Marriage: 3 Oct 1747 St Martin, Trimley, Suffolk, England

I'm new to this list, but have been given information that Joseph CLARK b. ca 1743 and married to Sarah FROST moved to Eastport, ME where they lived out their lives.

On Saturday, March 17, 2001 at the Genealogy Fair in Waltham, MA, Sharon Howland will be lecturing on the resources of Washington County, Maine and Charlotte County, NB.  In addition to the lecture, some of Sharon's immense collection of information will be available for people to use.  Much of this information has never been published.   Although Washington County, ME and Charlotte County, NB are distant places, they have strong connections to the Boston area.  Many people migrated from these two counties to work in the mills.   The March 17th event at the Genealogy Fair will take place from 10-4.  A $5 entrance fee will be charged and can be used towards the purchase of items that Sharon Sergeant has for sale.  Contact Sharon Sergeant to reserve a spot. Space is limited. <A HREF="http://www.genealogyfair.com/">http://www.geocities.com/sharon_sergeant/</A> Sharon Howland Coeditor of WKRP (Washington/Charlotte Kounty Records Preservation) Grantor and Trustee of the Washington County, Maine Records Preservation Fund Author of: Calais, Maine Vital Records Prior to 1892 Vital Records of Alexander, Maine Web Page: http://hometown.aol.com/shwkrp/shwkrp.html

Let me give you the information I have and hope you can locate them. Editor Rosemary E. Bachelor The Second Boat P.O. Box 2782, Kennebunkport, ME 04046 A couple of years ago I found them and received a book that contained four Volumes (contained in one book). That was the way that it could be ordered after that. They were trying to catch up with their missing volumes. I am sorry I couldn't keep track of them (again) as I really like the Second Boat. A wealth of information. In the last book I received (almost three years ago) their internet home page was: http://www.genealogyusa.com..........but.....this only goes to the Genealogical Detective site. I just tried it. There is also an email address which is: pentref@oricom.ca. Good luck, and please post to the list if you find them. I am in the middle of moving or I would try and find them myself. Good luck, Lynde in Maine p.s. I also have long ago copies of "The Dinghy" which was great too. I
