http://www.the27thmaine.com

Is a web site that focuses on the 27th Regiment during the civil war. The 27th was formed in fall of 1862. 949 men from York County (mostly) served a 9 month tour. (Or a slightly longer tour).

I found the site helpful, and the site owner was also very helpful.

I am looking for new information concerning any of these persons.

Benjamin Norman of New Vineyard married Hannah Beal of York on 30 Jan 1825. By 1830, this couple is living in New Vineyard, ME with three daughters under the age of 5 years.

Later, from the book, 'The History of the Town of Industry', we learn that Julia A Norman, the daughter of Benjamin and Hannah, married William G Lewis, in Oct. 1852.

Any clues anyone can throw may way will be greatly appreciated.

Anyone know any good references on the shipping business in the 1800's?
Thanks.

Since the 1800s, there have been Jewish communities in Maine in and around Auburn/Lewiston, Augusta, Biddeford/Saco, Bangor, Rockland, Portland and Waterville. Individual Jews also lived in many small towns and villages throughout the State.

This project, sponsored by the Jewish Community Alliance of Maine, has information on over 25,000 Jews with strong Maine ties and information on 180 Maine Jewish community or religious organizations. Our on-line cemetery data files now have information on over 6500 burials. Of these burial records, 1400 now also have headstone images on-line. In addition there are scanned documents and photography from community organizations in Auburn, Old Town, Portland, and Bangor.

There is open access to all the burial records. Registration is needed to access and update the remainder of the records.
