The different directories available in the state of Maine date back to the 19th century, and they document residents in coastal towns and inland communities. City and business directories list names, addresses, and occupations, particularly in shipbuilding and fishing industries. Given Maine’s history of migration to other states, these records help genealogists locate ancestors before their movement elsewhere. Additional sources such as maritime records and town registries further support family research for those with roots in The Pine Tree State.
