The Washington County Genealogical Society holds its meetings around the county so that lots of people have an opportunity to attend. Participants include researchers from neighboring Charlotte County, New Brunswick, as well.

WCGS President Frances Raye is working on an interesting project, compiling lists of veterans buried in Washington County cemeteries.

She's been working on Eastport and Perry, and is hoping to receive names of veterans buried in every nook and cranny of Washington County.

In particular, she's hoping that veterans groups and other folks who place flags on veterans' graves for Memorial Day will share their lists with her to help the project move along.

If you have information to share, send it along to Frances Raye, 410 Shore Road, Perry, ME 04667. Gathering and sharing this information is certainly a worthy tribute to those who served our country.
