Hi everyone, I have a transcribed diary of my
ggrandfather's beginning in 1871.  It is mostly
centered around Northern Maine - Aroostook and
Penobscot Counties.  There are quite a few people
mentioned in it (most of them just briefly), but
maybe you'll see your relative and at least know
where he was, when he was there, and maybe what he
did for a livelihood.

This will be the first part of it, and I will only
list peices that may be of help.
