Volunteers Dedicated to Free Genealogy
This Site is Available for Adoption
Our goal is to help you track your ancestors through time by transcribing genealogical
and historical data for the free use of all researchers.
We're looking for folks who share our dedication to putting data online and are interested in helping this project
be as successful as it can be. If you are interested in joining Genealogy Trails, view our Volunteer Page for further information and then contact Kim.
(Enough knowledge to make a basic webpage and a desire to transcribe data
is required)
We regret that we are unable to perform personal research for
folks.
All data we come across will be added to this site.
We thank you for visiting and hope you'll come back again to view the updates we make to this site.
If you would like to be kept informed of our state and county website updates,

Sagadahoc County
Founded 1854
Its county seat is Bath. In land area, it is the smallest county in Maine.
Sagadahoc County was formerly included in York, and later, in Lincoln County; having been set off from the latter
and incorporated in 1854. The exploring company of DeMonts, led by the intrepid Champlain made the first known
visit of Europeans to Sagadahoc. Sir William Popham’s colony, having erected buildings and constructed a vessel,
after a few months’ sojourn abandoned their settlement in 1608; but English fishermen and trappers continued to
visit the rivers and shores of the County. Capt. John Smith, of Virginia fame, explored the region in 1614 ; and
on the map of the country which he displayed to King Charles I of England, that monarch entered the name "Leethe"
as a substitute for "Sagadahoc."
