The original book was published in 1899 and had been out of print for decades. It was published again in 1979 with only 500 copies. My parents were able to obtain several copies at that time. It was a Christmas gift from my parents that year. In my mother’s handwriting, it says “Jack and Beth, Christmas 1979 from mom and dad.” I cherish it. There are many wonderful “old” pictures of residents in the book that I love.
I also have a book “Vital Records of Durham, Maine” that I bought from the Maine Genealogical Society. This book has been a tremendous help with birth and death records of the Days and Goddards.
If only there was one for the Elciks, we’d be all set!!!
I may have won this round but you’ve won many more than me but then “who’s counting”??
