A Sailing Voyage to the Azores - 1882

Please visit my new blog - "A Sailing Voyage to the Azores - 1882"  for an exciting family history journey to the Azores Islands in the mid-Atlantic, aboard the Barque "Sarah". I will be posting the journal entries from my great grand aunt, Mary Rogers Cabot, describing her 53 day journey from Boston to the Azores and back, starting in April 1882.

    Will - I'd like to get a hold of you re: a comment you made some time ago "I am in the process of transcribing the New Gloucester Vital Records from the scans on the Picton Press CDs." to "New England Genealogy - Wendy Hawksley. I am studiously interested in many of the old Picton books that I just can't find. Specifically, I'm trying to validate the birth of Eunice Bumpus in 1784 Leeds, Me. Working on Mayflower connections, I a very interested in pre 1800 records for New Gloucester, Hebron(Shepardsfield) and Leeds.

    I live in rural Alaska now and have limited access to old Maine records re: Bumpus, Fish. Please drop me a line if you still have those CD's. Christopher Wright kaskae1@gmail.com

    Hello Will,
    I am planning a trip to Cumberland and North Yarmouth to research my Pearson family tree. (Specifically Isaac Pearson and his wife Miriam Hall Harris Pearson.) I noticed that we have the Pearson family name in common and I was wondering if you had any recommendations to point me in the right direction for my trip? For example, do you know if a certain library or historical society has more information on the Pearson family than another? Any other recommendations or suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thank you for your help,
    Meredith

    Hello Will,
    I will be visiting Cumberland and North Yarmouth in the next couple of weeks (Oct 2016) to do research on my family tree. Specifically, the Pearson family (Isaac and Miriam Hall Harris Pearson). I noticed that we have the Pearson family name in common. I was wondering if you have any recommendations of libraries or historical societies, etc. that may have more information on the Pearson family than others. Also, any other suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thank you for your help! You can reach me at spf9000@gmail.com.
    Take care,
