Vital Records of Farmington, Maine, 1784–1890

The town of Farmington, Maine, is located in the southern part of Franklin County. It was founded in 1781 by several families, and has since flourished. Longtime NEHGS member Dorothy Wirth transcribed many cemeteries and records in Maine. She donated many of these transcriptions to the Society, including, in 1961, the Farmington Vital Records. Many of her transcriptions are now are being converted to digital format. Dorothy Wirth was the wife of Jacob Wirth, owner of the Jacob Wirth restaurant in Boston. It was founded by his ancestor in 1868 and is still a popular restaurant because it has maintained the original look and feel since its founding.
