2018 - a Project Review

12/31/2018

2 Comments

 
It is the final day of 2018, and I shall soon be entering my 14th year of having an online presence for my 27th Maine research.

I started this project in 2004, as I wanted to know more about the men who had enlisted from York County, Maine, as my 3rd Great-Grandfather did in 1862, into what would become the Twenty-Seventh Regiment of Maine Volunteer Infantry. The following year, I registered the27thMaine.com domain name, and began building a website. An early version is seen (at left) from a 2007 screen shot.
The design has changed several times over the years, due to changes with the host servers, but the information provided and the tabbed pages have generally remained the same.

The screen shot at right is from a 2010 version of the website, which I used until moving over to the Weebly site builder in 2013, where this site currently resides.

My original goal of finding more about the soldiers of the 27th Maine Infantry is nearly complete, if such a word can ever be used with any kind of genealogical work. I have researched every man in the regiment and, while there are a few that have completely stumped me, the overall mission was a success. Of the 946 (or 949, as was officially reported) men in the regiment, I have been able to find the burial places for 890 of them. 842 of these have memorials created on Find a Grave (578 of them under my management), and I have personally visited 639 of them, in order to photograph the stones and/or the plots (for those with no stones).

I hope that, in this coming new year, I will be able to make more trips to the cemeteries located out of state, and continue recording these burial sites. With many newspapers now being scanned and uploaded online, especially those from the New England states, finding more information about the 27th Maine and its volunteers is getting a bit easier. Lets hope that it leads to solving a few of these "dead ends" I have.

Here's to 2019!

Stumbled across your blog while researching my 2x great grandfather and 27th Maine infantry soldier, Sergeant Charles R. Cook. I didn't see his burial place listed in your link, but can give you the information if you email me.

Hi Danielle, I just did a quick check on Find a Grave, and see that someone has added his memorial and grave photo in Locust Grove Cem (back in 2016). A clear picture - which will really help whenever I find my way down to the Cape to make a visit.

Thank you for taking the time to message me. It has reminded me that I need to recheck and update my list!
