To Joanne McCoubreu and all who might not know>>> For any vital records after the date of 1892 it is best to contact the Maine State Archives at Augusta or the town where the event happened.. According to state law records after the 1892 are not to be examined by the general public, but only by officials in the local town or city office. Some town clerks do allow the public to look at the actually records, while others go by the law and do not. In Machias we can not look at the records so your question about Helen Adelaide McCoubrey could only be answered by your contacting the Machias Town Office at 70 Court St., Machias or by calling 207-255-8683. Since you know the month and year of her birth it should not be a problem for them time wise to look the data up. For your added info the reason for the general public not being able to view the original records is for privacy concerns ... illegitimate births and causes of death.. As for your further question on just where "Ginger Hill" is .. I have never heard of it but will ask around..
