Mailing List

The MEDATA mail list is just beginning on March 13, 1999 and will hopefully become a major part of the ME GenWeb Archives Project.
 
What is MEDATA?
This list is the place for you to share your original Maine source material... wills, deeds, bible records, tax lists, cemetery files, pension applications, obituaries, old letters, marriage lists, etc... with other Maine researchers.

Please note that queries are not allowed

How to submit your information
 

To post your information to the list, send an email to: MEDATA-L@rootsweb.com

Is the list archived somewhere?
 

The digest of the mail list is being placed in the ME USGenWeb Archives

Archives Search Engine
 

If you don't know which specific region to begin with, the Maine USGenWeb Archives Search-Engine will help. There you may search by Surname or other key-words.

I hope you enjoy the list!
