Boothbay Region Historical Society Family Files
Gathered by the society, this information consists of ten feet of family files organized by family name into approximately 550 folders containing individual documents. Some folders are an inch thick; some contain no more than a few obituaries. In addition, there are three and a half feet of bound family histories written about particular families. The family folders and bound histories consist of obituaries, descendancy charts, correspondence, news clippings, and secondary material. Most of the correspondence was with local historian, Barbara Rumsey, from 1986 to the present. Click here for a downloadable list of the family names for which an individual family folder or a bound Boothbay Region Historical Society family history exists.
In addition to the surnames listed in the Boothbay Region Historical Society Family Files index, there is a file for each letter of the alphabet that contains items for that letter. Family information that is too sparse to warrant its own file is in the letter file. When searching for your family surname keep in mind that there are variations on spelling.
