President’s Message, August 2013
It is said that once the Northern Maine Fair is over and done, that winter is just around the corner. With that being said, it is now time to look toward the remaining meetings for the year. On Sunday, August 25, Jay Bullard has open house at his house in Caribou beginning at 10 a.m. […]
Vice President’s Message, July 2013
When it comes to genealogy you are lucky if you have one person in the family doing it. The others are not interested or do not want to do the work; I guess it helps if you have a love for wanting to knowing more about your family history. My brothers and sisters have no […]
Vice President’s Message, June 2013
Lately I have been thinking about the work I have done with genealogy. I have talked about what I learned over the last twenty years but my knowledge of family history was very limited before that. There is an unwritten rule that said there is only one person per generation doing genealogy. For me I […]
Vice President’s Message, May 2013
Today I would like to talk about Genealogy and Historical Societies. Most of us belong to one or the other as each can take up most of our time. I thought it all started for me back in 1994 but it started much earlier. When I was a boy I remember walking around the town […]
Vice President’s Message, March 2013
Too many of our members, what I will be talking about in the messages I submit this year will be old news. I hope what I say will be of some interest and help to our new members just starting out in their search. Many of our members are very good at research, they make […]

Vice President’s Message, February 2013
For some time I have been thinking of sending in a story to the newsletter. I have some stories in mind and I will send in one each month so I hope you enjoy them. My first story is on brick walls and I have a tough one. Like several of you, mine is a […]
President’s Message, January 2013
Dennis informed me the other day that as President, I am expected to do a monthly writing for the newsletter. Since I do not care to write, I suggested to him that all the officers and members at large get involved, thereby spreading the joy of writing something for the newsletter over the next few […]
President’s Message, November 2011
– Richard Kimball I’ve been a member of ACGS for about two years and President for one and am now reading the CONSTITUTION AND BY-LAWS (adoped in August 2003). If you have not looked at them recently, I sugget that you get a copy – only six uncrowded pages. To save space here, I’m going […]
P.I. Library
The Presque Isle Library now has access to Ancestry.com in house. I think this may be true for all/most libraries in the state so you should check. Per a September 17-18 issue of the BDN, a 150 year-old private cemetery in Saco is being moved. This has also been a topic in the MOCA newsletters. […]
