About Aroostook County MEGenWeb ProjectThis county is available for adoption. If you would like to learn more about becoming a County Coordinator and a part of The MEGenWeb Project, or if you have any other questions relating to this county, please contact the State Coordinator, Tina Vickery Aroostook is the northernmost county in Maine. It is bordered on the south by Somerset, Piscataquis, Penobscott, and Washington counties; on the north and east by the Canadian province of New Brunswick; and on the west by the province of Quebec. Aroostook's county seat is Houlton. Early eastern Aroostook records are in Michias. Remaining records are in Bangor. It is doubtful that any record prior to the organization of Penobscot, Piscataquis and Somerset Counties (1809 - 1816) are in existence, but if so they would be located in Augusta, Ellsworth and Wiscasset. -- from Maine Towns and Counties What was What, Where and When, by Michael J.

About the MEGenWeb ProjectIn June 1996, as the Kentucky Project was coming to completion, it was decided to create this page for all states, establishing the USGenWeb Project. Volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the collection of county pages for a state page. If you would like to contribute your data or create a county page within a given state, please contact the person responsible for maintaining that state's page. If you would like to volunteer in any way to help with this site contact the State Coordinator Tina S. Vickery |

About the USGenWeb ProjectIn the spring of 1996, a group of genealogists with mutual interests in Kentucky genealogy got together and discussed ways and means of using the internet for comprehensive geenalogical resources. This resulted in a project to build web sites for every county in Kentucky. This idea quickly spread to other states and by the end of the summer of 1996, the USGenWeb Project was born.
