Genealogy
The town office has many valuable records that help the genealogist. The office has birth, death, and marriage records dating back to the early 1800's. However, records before 1892 are somewhat incomplete as Maine law did not require clerks to record these events until that year.
Copies of the Riverside Cemetery records are also kept here. Records of perpetual care payments, interments, and even burial transit permits are on file. The burial transit permits have helped unlock many mysteries and we have them dating back until 1901.
