CANCELLED Genealogy Workshop: Creating Maine Towns

Due to unforeseen circumstances this event has been cancelled. We hope to host Dr. McCoy in the future. Thanks for your understanding!
The District of Maine had a wild history marked by warfare, the destruction of early settlements, land disputes, and challenging terrain. How did settlers create viable towns in such a wilderness? What types of officers were needed to run settlements? Proprietors' and Town Records can be gold mines for genealogists. Learn how Maine towns typically developed, the role and responsibilities of Proprietors, and what was needed to create a successful town. Find out about town records, how they help in research, and where to find them.
