The Families of the Upper Saint John Valley in 1790 is a work which documents 68 families on both sides of the river. This publication is a compilation of all the known original families now contained in one volume. From this small community, literally thousands of descendants are scattered to the four corners of North America. Each chapter includes the head of household, their spouse(s) and their respective parents, their children and who they married. Other information that will be found is the head of household’s occupation(s), applicable crown land grant(s) and acreage received. An all name index can be viewed on the ACGS website.
As a resource work, it also gives citations to research lines back to Acadia, Quebec and beyond thus facilitating research using other genealogical works/sources. It is a companion to the original 1790 United States Federal Census for the Province of Maine, State of Massachusetts.
