The resources of the Sagadahoc History and Genealogy Room at the Patten Free Library are used by experienced volunteer researchers to respond to requests from the public. This service is available BY MAIL ONLY; responses are not made by fax or e-mail. A donation of $20 is requested in advance for the initial search (up to one hour). If additional research is desired, up to a limit of 4 hours, a donation of $15 per hour is requested. This rate includes a reasonable number of photocopies and postage. Checks should be made payable to the Bath Historical Society. If the Room lacks the resources to do the research requested, the donation will be returned.
When requesting family historical/genealogical data, please include an ancestor chart or fill in the form below to the fullest extent possible. Indicate what information you already have, then list separately or circle what you need to find. The more information you provide, even if approximate, the more effective the research. Thank you.
