Piscataquis is Maine’s second largest county and was incorporated in 1838. It was set off from Penobscot County and a small portion of Somerset County. It has been called the “County of the Lakes” in honor of the beauty of its many ponds, lakes, streams and rivers. The people of Piscataquis County came from across the globe including England, Wales, France, Canada, Sweden, Finland, Italy, and Lithuania to name a few.
The name of this society shall be Wassebec Genealogical Society, a chapter of the Maine Genealogical Society.
The purposes of the chapter are to collect, exchange, preserve, and publish genealogical records, related documents and information, and to promote and encourage interest and scholarship in genealogy and family history in Piscataquis County and neighboring communities.
