Name/Title
Vital Records of Rockland, MaineEntry/Object ID
CPL 2005.27Description
A one volume transcription of the birth, death and marriage records of the City of Rockland for the period 1783 to 1892. These records were copied from the books or record in the Rockland City Clerk's office and from the microfilm at the Family History Center.
The city of Rockland is the shire town for Knox County and was first incorporated in 1848 as East Thomaston after being split off from the town of Thomaston. In 1850 the name was changed to Rockland. Many of the family records even contain birth data prior to the town’s incorporation. A separate book for death records began as early as 1852 and marriage intentions and marriage records begin in 1848. Also added are extractions of “corrected records” taken from five Books of Correction located in the clerk’s office. Most of these corrected records in the form of depositions filed in later years give additional data not found in the original record, such as birth place for parents, occupations, plus the relationship of the deponent. Delayed returns are also included which also give additional data for individuals not found in the original record.
