Joseph C. Anderson II and the late John Frost, editors extraordinaire, have combined efforts to bring you more than two centuries of marriages in York County, Maine. Every town in the county is represented and these marriage records begin as early as 1686, although the bulk of the records date from the 1800s. The introduction, explaining how changing laws on the recording of marriages affected York County, will help the reader to sort out this rather complex situation. And of course, the two indexes, with a total of 28,794 entries, bring all these records right to your fingertips.
This is a truly valuable research tool for much of Maine because of York County's place as the mother of all Maine counties. All Maine researchers will definitely want a copy of this top quality new book in their library, as well as every library with a Maine genealogy section.
