    1. Maine Censuses -- Where Are They? -- Replies

    3. -------------- My original post: Can anyone tell me where I can look at the Maine censuses for 1800 through 1840? I live in Concord, NH. What are my options? Is there any place in NH? -------------- I got LOTS of replies to the above post and I thank all those who sent me suggestions. Other people have asked me what I found out, so I thought I'd post a summary for the reference of those who live in NH and want to look at Maine censuses. I checked with the NH state library and they have NH censuses only, although they do have indexes for other states, including Maine. Ditto for the New Hampshire Historical Society (NHHS) library. Other suggestions were: LDS church on Clinton Street (must order the tapes, $3.50 each gives you access to them for about a month, then they're shipped back to Salt Lake City) National Archives in Waltham, MA (or Pittsfield) Maine Historical Society, in Portland Maine State Archives, also in Portland Boston Public Library New England Historical Genealogical Society, in Boston Evidently there is nothing on line except for scattered counties and even that is only for 1790. Several libraries -- including the NHHS -- have the INDEXES to the censuses, so you can at least narrow your search down to county and page before you decide where to go for the actual census -- or which ones to order. -- _~o _ o -\<, -\<, (_) /---- / (_) tandem@mediaone.net Dick & Barbara Lemieux Concord, NH
