Bruce, Normally, I would reply privately, but thought maybe someone else on the list had the same problem. Those of you who don't, can't now hit the delete button :-) > I have made halfhearted attempts to identify Micom's ancestors in Scotland, > without success. Has anyone been there/done that? Thanks in advance for your > help. Was Micom one of the Scots taken to Saugus first as indentured servant/slave to work the ironworks there and then settled in ME after (when it was still MA)?? The year 1650 fits it w/ that. My ancestor, Peter Grant, was also captured at the Battle of Dunbar, shipped to Saugus, and later settled in ME. My husband and I have been to Scotland three times and other descendants have apparently searched there and also in London where the ship's records are supposed to be and have found nothing of Peter's ancestry. Family lore has it that he was from Inverness, though might have been Inverness-shire. The librarian in the genealogy section of the Inverness Public Library said Cromwell did a good job of destroying the records for a certain time period (can't remember the years covered, but it would surely have included birth and christening for Peter) and that it's unlikely any would be found. Others who have searched more extensively than I have said the same. The 2nd time we were in Scotland, I had the joy of being able to attend the Abernethy Games at Nethy Bridge where the Clan Grant is the only clan w/ tent, etc., and has been since 18-something. I spoke briefly w/ the chief of the clan and a couple other people. (They weren't even aware of the Scots having been taken to Saugus.) Not having a precise map of what area Inverness-shire covered, and certainly not for 1650s, I asked a few questions. I had come to the conclusion after having gone to Dunbar and spoken w/ a guy who runs a one-man museum there and in speaking w/ others that the part of the shire around Inverness was more Catholic Grant and the eastern part is more Protestant which Peter was. The conversations at the games confirmed that conclusion. So, another trip is highly needed :-) to investigate more in that vicinity since I had been always in and around Inverness City. And, to try to get more information from the guy in Dunbar even though I can only understand abt. 25% of what he says (HEAVY brogue!). Depending on whether Micom was Protestant or Catholic should lead you to the proper area of wherever you think/know/have heard he is from originally. Search of records in London PRO, I think it is, might give up some information. Other than that.....With Cromwell having burned the records, kinda hard to come up w/ much, if anything.

Hello Folks -- Part of my wife's ancestry includes the following: ** Susanna McIntire; b. 16 May 1709 in York, York, ME; m. Joseph Main on 6 Sep 1733 in York. ** John McIntire, father of Susannah; b. abt 1677 in York; m. Susannah Young aft 1698 in York; d. 1771 ** Malcolm "Micom" McIntire, father of John; b. Scotland; captured by Cromwell's army at Battle of Dunbar in 1650; shipped to North America; m. Dorothy Pierce/Pearce; d. aft 17 Apr 1700 in York. We estimate that Micom's birth would have been about 1630, plus or minus a few years. He was presumably an adult when captured at Dunbar (I assume 16+ years old), but still a young man. After all, his son John was born in 1677, and he lived past 17 Apr 1700. Micom's friend and fellow Scotsman, Alexander MacKaneer, had married a Maine woman, Dorothy Pierce/Pearce. Part of the legend of that era is that as MacKaneer was dying, McIntire promised that he would take care of Dorothy. So McIntire married Dorothy. That would explain his relatively old age when his son John was born. [Micom and Dorothy had two other sons, Micom Jr and Daniel, but I have no birth dates for these guys.] I have made halfhearted attempts to identify Micom's ancestors in Scotland, without success. Has anyone been there/done that? Thanks in advance for your help. Bruce Bardes Cincinnati

E. Bourne, Esq.]

[Extracts from a manuscript History of Wells and Kennebunk, by E. E. Bourne, Esq.] "In 1803 Stephen Sewall commenced the publication of the ANNALS OF THE TIMES. It seems to have been started under very favorable auspices, so far as regarded the patronage of advertisers. Many persons in Portsmouth advertised their goods in its columns, and also a respectable number in Wells and other towns in the county. But the subscription patronage was insufficient to sustain it, and the paper was continued but one year. Occasionally the paper contained respectable communications on political questions and things of local interest. Sewall wrote the ode for the Fourth of July, 1803, which was sung with effect on that occasion. His position as publisher of this paper not meeting his aspirations, he abandoned it in 1804, moved to Scarboro', and there established himself as a Thompsonian physician. "In the beginning of 1805 another attempt was made to establish a newspaper in Kennebunk by William Weeks. This enterprise was not as successful as the former. The paper was denominated the KENNEBUNK 'GAZETTE. We have a single copy of it, dated July 24. From this specimen we are of the opinion that the people took but little interest in sustaining it. Though this was the 19th number, beside the post master's notice of letters remaining in the office, it contains but a single advertisement. The paper is made up entirely of collections, containing nothing editorial and no original communications. It was continued but a little while, when the publisher moved to Saco ; thence to Portland; then to Portsmouth, where in 1809 he became the publisher of the New Hampshire Gazette. " Another paper was attempted soon after, of which we have been unable to ascertain the name or the publisher. We believe it was called the EAGLE OF MAINE ; but no relics of it have been found, so that we know nothing of its character or of the length of its days. "A fourth paper, denominated the WEEKLY VISITOR, was started in 1809 by James K. Remick. The publisher seems to have had more sympathy from the public than his predecessors. The advertising support of a! newspaper we suppose to be very essential to its success. This was very liberally given to the Visitor. A great deal of original matter was also furnished. Previous failures probably moved the people to a more active interest in its success than they manifested in the previous enterprises. The paper soon acquired a satisfactory footing, and maintained its position between thirty and forty years, though its name was changed to Kennebunk Gazette, July 7, 1821. By a wise and prudent management of the financial concerns of the establishment, the publisher acquired a very comfortable independence, which be transmitted to his son. "All the publishers of these papers, in addition to the work of their profession, kept a book-store, supplying the public with stationery, school books, etc. "THE COLUMBIAN STAR, at Alfred, was continued but a short time. Its establishment was designed for two objects -to aid in the election of Crawford, and in the location of all the courts a! t Alfred. These two questions being removed from the public mind, no interest in it was strong enough for its support."

Hi, all, A quick comment on the Maine Democrat newspaper published in Biddeford and Saco, which is somewhat likely to have news of Kennebunk and Kennebunkport.

Original records are nearly impossible to find for some reason. I know that the Town of Kennebunk at Town Hall has many original records but I'm not sure if they are available to researchers. The Mormans came through this area and microfilmed many of the original record books in the 1950s. In some cases, they are the only copies left. In Kennebunk, they filmed town records and Church records. You might be able to look at those in your local Family Center. I have cemetery listings for Kennebunk but everything else I have is for the Port. I do have births for Chester Elijah b. Dec. 11, 1894 and Sarah Frances b. Nov. 13 1896. Both were children of Gilbert Doughty, a fisherman, who was born on Chibeague Island which is right off Portland Maine. Maybe the families were related. If I were you I would probably go to the Brick Store Museum first. Then the town hall.

The Kennebunk Free Library has newspapers on microfilm back to about the 1870s. The newspaper was called The Eastern Star. Every week there was a column for happenings in Kennebunk. Most weeks had a Kennebunkport column as well. Occasionally, you will find Cape Porpoise as a separate column but most of the time it is included with Kennebunkport. The town columns are on page 3. The Eastern Star ultimately became The York County Coast Star. Another wonderful resource for earlier information is the Andrew Walker Diaries. There are hard bound copies of all ten volumes and an index, in the research room at the library. Andrew wrote about every person and event in Kennebunk and Kennebunkport, every day mid-19th century to late 19th century. Arundel was still part of Kennebunkport until 1917, at which time it was called North Kennebunkport. It did not get the name Arundel until the 1950s. The entire area, (Kennebunkport, Cape Porpoise and Arundel) was called Cape Porpoise from 1653 to 1719; Arundel from 1719 to 1820; and finally Kennebunkport from 1820 on. If someone is listed as having come from Arundel, one must look at the date to understand where they really came from. The library has had some of the films walk away recently so they are very cautious about showing them to people. If you are persistent I am sure you will prevail. If not, try the Brickstore Museum across the street (rte 1) from the Library. They have the microfilms too. They are open Tuesday and Thursday for research. As they are a non-profit, they have to charge a fee. I think it is $25 but I'm not sure about that. I work at the Kennebunkport Historical Society. We have summer newspapers that go back to around 1920 or so. These don't contain much hard news though. More tourist information and social stuff. We do have transcripts of births, marriages and deaths as well as cemetery inscriptions. We also must charge a fee of $10 for research for non-members, as we are non-profit. If you are looking for information about a Kennebunkport person or event, we may have something in our archives. Let me know if I can be of any help. Sharon Cummins

I will be going to Kennebunkport soon and would like to look at microfilm of old newspapers, from 1865 on. I am interested in ones that would cover the Kennebunk/Kennebunkport area. I've been in contact with the Kennebunk library and know they have microfilm for 1921-1998. I don't know if earlier years weren't put on microfilm or Kennebunk just doesn't have them. I live in a small city in Indiana and we have microfilm for newspapers back in the 1800s and I can't believe that New England wouldn't have them back at least that far. What newspapers would have had Kennebunkport/Cape Porpoise/Arundel/Kennebunk news in the last quarter of the 19th century? Thank you for any help you can give me.

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Melville C. FREEMAN taken at the S. L. Preble Studio in Waterville, Maine. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's with Melville likely in his late teens or early 20's at the time. Based on limited research I believe this may be a photograph of Melville C. FREEMAN b. 10 March 1874 in Maine and d. May 1966 in Kennebunkport, ME after residing in Cape Porpoise, ME. In addition to this photograph I also recovered another photograph which was taken at this same studio of Annie Elizabeth MERRILL in 1894. I've no idea if there is a connection but I mention it just in case it is a clue. I'm hoping to locate someone from Melville's family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

A couple of years ago when I first started genealogy research I seem to remember coming across a site that had a map of the US that would show in various shades of blue (I think) the concentration of a particular surname by state/region (the particular surname I was seeking at the time was definitely concentrated in the northeast, appeared to a lesser degree on the east coast heading south, and was virtually non-existent in the middle states and on the west coast).

From: "Cheryl Rothwell" <LoganCty@mindspring.com> The following article is from Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter and is copyright 2003 by Richard W. Eastman. It is re-published here with the permission of the author. Information about the newsletter is available at http://www.RootsForum.com. - Were You Victimized by This Genealogy Scam Artist? I have written a number of times about GenSeekers. This site is owned and operated by Mr. Elias Abodeely of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Mr. Abodeely is a 21-year-old who has operated a number of Web sites, using various business names, including genealogydevelopments.com, familydiscovery.com, genealogyfinders.net, genlocator.com, genseeker.com, genseekers.com, genealogy-express.com, and probably many others. Most of these are Web sites that remain online for a few weeks while the owner collects money from would-be customers. The sites then get shut down as the complaints mount, but new ones appear with similar wording. Elias Abodeely has advertised his Web sites with thousands of spam e-mails. These messages claim to offer access to millions of online genealogy records for about $60.00 a year. (The price varies a bit from one ad to another.) Once signed up for this "service," the hapless victim is given access to a few pages of menus that point to other Web sites, all of which are free of charge for everyone. The links on Abodeely's sites point to FamilySearch.org, RootsWeb, and lots of other sites that you can access right now at no charge. Your sixty dollars buys access to a list of links, nothing else. And those links are not nearly as complete as those on Cyndi's List, a free site. Elias Abodeely has accepted credit cards and checks by various means. For a while, he used a PayPal account. However, clicking on the link in an old spam mail from GenSeekers now displays a PayPal page that says, "This recipient is currently unable to receive money." PayPal apparently shut down that account. In the spam mail ads, GenSeekers and the other names being used all offer a five-day, money-back guarantee. GenSeekers' online check acceptance form at https://fs6.formsite.com/genseekers/form093061282/secure_index.html says, "The 5 Day Trial is 100 % Free for the First 5 Days Cancel Before End of Trial and Nothing will ever be billed." (That is an exact quote with the original grammar errors left intact.) A customer service e-mail address to be used for cancellations is supplied when you subscribe. However, e-mails sent to that address bounce back as "addressee unknown" Or "mailbox full." Once charged, there is no method for the victim to cancel or obtain a refund. To read my past articles about this scam, look at: http://www.rootsforum.com/archives/news0310.htm, http://www.rootsforum.com/archives/news0320.htm, http://www.rootsforum.com/archives/news0237.htm and at http://www.rootsforum.com/archives/news0129.htm. The Better Business Bureau's report is particularly strong. The BBB is usually rather conservative in its reports, but this time says, "It has come to the bureau's attention that consumers are unable to unsubscribe through web site and email correspondences are not returned by company. Credit card users who have been unable to obtain a refund from the company may wish to contact their credit card company." You can find many more references on Google. You can also find quite a few messages about this on the Discussion Board for this newsletter. When I started writing this article, the Web page at http://www.GenSeekers.com was in operation. However, before I finished the article a few days later, that Web page seemed to have disappeared. An attempt to go to that page now generates the common error message, "The page you are looking for is currently unavailable." In the meantime, you can see Google's cached copy. Copies of other now-defunct Web sites operated by Elias Abodeely are also available at: http://www.archive.org. Some months ago, the spam mail messages listed a telephone number, but later e-mail ads do not. That number was disconnected and later re-assigned to someone else (who reportedly is really angry at all the phone calls they have received from unhappy people looking for GenSeekers.com!). When looking at the domain registrations for Abodeely's Web sites, I found several addresses and telephone numbers used. The registration for FamilyDiscovery.com lists a Technical Contact of Elias Abodeely at 9843 Cambridge Drive, Cedar Rapids, IA 52404 and a different telephone number. I called the number but was connected to an answering machine that gave no clue as to the current owner's name. I searched several online telephone directories for a current address and telephone number. Most of the searches came up empty, except for AnyWho at http://www.anywho.com. That online service does show a listing for a Mr. Elias A Abodeely at still a different address in Cedar Rapids and with a different phone number. There is no way to tell if this is the same person or not. A search on USSearch.com turned up references to two men of the same name in Cedar Rapids. One is listed as being 92 years old, obviously not the same person. By the way, you can see a five-year-old partially obscured picture of then 16-year-old Elias Abodeely. Look at the Cedar Rapids GazetteOnline at: http://www.gazetteonline.com/special/neighbor/mmhp/mmhpp003.htm. Have you been a victim of one of these scams? You may be able to get your money back. Even better, you may be able to help stop this operation now before others become victims. If you have been victimized by GenSeekers or any of the other names being used in this operation, please do several things: If you paid by credit card, contact your credit card company now! Your credit card is insured against online fraud. The phone number to call probably is on the back of the credit card. Ask for a refund. Credit card companies are very experienced at these scams and are quick to refund a victim's money if they receive such a request promptly. The credit card companies then go after the business owners for reimbursement. (Sadly, many people paid by checks, at the suggestion of Mr. Abodeely's various spam mails. Personal checks should never be used for online purchases as they do not have fraud protection. Credit cards are fully insured against online fraud, but personal checks carry no protection at all. If you paid by credit card, you can get your money back! If you paid by check or money order, you probably are out of luck.) File a complaint with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C). You can easily do this at http://www1.ifccfbi.gov. File a consumer complaint form with the Federal Trade Commission. Selling on the Internet constitutes interstate commerce, so the FTC has jurisdiction. You can do this easily at https://rn.ftc.gov/pls/dod/wsolcq$.startup?Z_SUBMIT_FLAG=Y. Download and fill out an Iowa Attorney General Consumer Complaint Form. You can obtain this form at http://www.state.ia.us/government/ag/forminfo.htm. You can also send e-mail complaints to consumer@ag.state.ia.us. However, I suspect that a written complaint form sent via regular mail will be more effective. Contact the Cedar Rapids Police Department. The department's Web page at http://www.cedar-rapids.org/police/ and the department's Financial Crimes division page at http://www.cedar-rapids.org/police/financial_crimes.asp lists Lieutenant Ken Washburn as the contact person for any financial crimes. You can reach him at (319) 286-5413 or at k.washburn@cedar-rapids.org. The time to act is now. If victims do not take speedy action to shut down this operation, how many more people will be victimized? ============================== To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
