Calais, Maine, Families: They Came and They Went - Thelma Eye Brooks. The result of eight years of research, this book studies the families listed in Book I of Calais Vital Records. The 346 families represented in this book are the families who had children's births registered in the Calais City Hall's earliest known (when this project began) book of vital records. Recently, an earlier book of records has been found and published, and some of the information found in the older book was used to clarify some dates and names. An effort has been made to find where each of these families came from and where they resided if they left Calais. Where possible the census was used to follow these families from 1820 through 1920. The goal of this project was to find three generations of each family - one back from the head of the family and his wife, and the children and their spouses. Arranged alphabetically, this work includes an index of "buried" names to help the researcher find allied names.
