Lincoln County, Maine, Master Index to Deeds in Volumes 101–189 (1818–1848), MGS Special Publication #99, is an essential companion to the earlier master index published by MGS in 2021 covering deed volumes 1–100 and the years 1760–1818. This massive new book (860 pages, double-columned) is an index of over 100,000 grantor and grantee deeds, sorted by last name, first name, name of the counterparty, and volume and page number. The master index provides an easy overview of an individual’s transactions spanning multiple deed volumes, which heretofore have been indexed only semi-alphabetically by volume. With this book, researchers can now effortlessly locate deeds and bypass the tedious volume-by-volume searches that were necessary until now. In addition to land deeds, the index includes depositions, affidavits, powers of attorney, and other types of transactions, all of which are typically rich in genealogical clues and unexpected genealogical treasures, making these documents a crucial part of any genealogist’s research.
