WRG,

Several years ago, Larry Tracy from Kennebunkport, Maine found in an attic of a house in Waterford, Maine some church records. They are from the First Congegational Church of Waterford, and date from 1790 to near the present. Larry was allowed to microfilm these records, and has allowed me to transcibe the Whitney inclusions in these records. Below is said transcription:
