The date of our April meeting has changed due to Easter falling on the second Sunday of the month. The April program will be held on Sunday, April 15th at 2pm in the Morell Meeting Room at the Curtis Memorial Library in Brunswick. In commemoration of the sesquicentennial of the Civil War, PGS President, Brian Bouchard will share one of his family's Civil War stories. His HIGGINS family of Mount Desert Island sent 3 of their boys to War. Learn about their lives leading up to, during and after the Civil War and get a glimpse into what one Maine family was going through during this turbulent time in America's history. Following President Bouchard's talk, other members will be invited to share information about their ancestor's service stories with the group. Join us for a fun afternoon of sharing and genealogy talk (and snacks too!) Sunday, April 15th at 2pm in the Morrell Meeting Room in Brunswick's Curtis Memorial Library.

Over the past few years, the Pejepscot Genealogy Society has been collecting a number of Maine history and genealogy related items. While we don't have a physical library established to share these items, we do what we can to make them available to our members. Now we're taking that effort one step further by allowing ALL our web visitors to see our online catalog and see what's available for lookups and/or to bring to a future meeting at request. The catalog currently contains only 30 items, a fraction of what is available, but we'll be adding more to it as time allows and we continue to acquire new items to our collections. Watch this space for updates on newly added items, and check out what is already posted by clicking the "Virtual Library" link above. Maine's Old Cemeteries
