A chapter of the Maine Genealogical Society

Welcome . . .

Our Next Meeting:

is on Wednesday, May 21, 2008.  The meeting will be an "open discussion" for brick wall efforts and successes. Bring your achievements and give the group a short presentation. We will also leave an open discussion time to all members and guests to present their desires for upcoming meetings. We will give a preview of some planned or "in-work" projects or events.

Join us at the Bangor Public Library at 6:00 p.m. for some great discussions and refreshments. Everyone is welcome.

Town of Corinth Revisiting Its History

The Corinth Historical Society is busy researching and writing the history of (East) Corinth, a job which has not been done since 1887!  They are interested in collecting genealogical information on any present or former resident of the town.  They are especially interested in hearing from descendants of some of the earlier settlers of the place.  If you have any information that you could contribute, you may contact us at jamesrwilson@charter.net or by mail at Corinth Historical Society,   P.O. Box 541, Corinth, Maine 04427.  They thank you in advance for your invaluable aid.
