A Message From Our President
The pursuit of family history is an endeavor of love - a blend of learning and searching - a quest that is never-ending. We all come to this addiction, as that truly is what it becomes, from different places and for different reasons. My quest began just seven years ago, when at the death of my mother-in-law we realized we really didn't know anything about her heritage - that heritage that made her the unique person she was.
Whether your search for information includes the state of Maine or not, the Maine Genealogical Society has something to offer. Our society is dedicated to preserving and encouraging sound genealogical scholarship. Through our quarterly journal, the Maine Genealogist, our annual conference, and our special publications including the Maine Families in 1790 series, the Maine Genealogical Society and its chapters offer research and educational opportunities to assist genealogists be successful and confident in their research endeavors.
If you are a member, we're here to serve you - drop me a line and let me know how we are doing. If you're not a member, I hope you will join the Maine Genealogical Society and help us continue our efforts on behalf of all genealogists.
Dale W. Mower President
