Hi Elizabeth, yes, I found them shortly after i wrote back, I was looking under the list of Penobscot names, and diden't have the their names linked to the the cemetery site properly...... Glad you could find them ok...... Glad i could help you. and others. I refuse to pay at other sites to look up family information, so i started this as a hobby.

HENDEE / Rooms, New Block, Water St. / Opposite Stanley House AUGUSTA, ME." I thought I would use this as a case study for tracking Maine people on the Internet. I will do so using only free…

One of my ongoing genealogy projects is entering the
information on my Ellingwood ancestors and relatives onto
my Ancestry.com tree from Florence Evelyn O'Connor's
book "The Ancestors and Descendants of Asa Freeman

with the descendants first because there are so many of
them and there are sources and images of records
that aren't available for earlier…

Back in November of last year I wrote my first two posts about

transcribing his Pension Request file. But the busy Christmas
season at work and then my illness at the start of the year…

I first published this list a few years back, but in honor of the
4th of July I'm publishing it again.We know about Washington
and Knox and Lafayette, but we should never forget that it

I've already shared some of their stories here and plan to do so
with the rest,…
