The state of Maine has the highest average age in the nation, which means that there are a great deal of obituaries printed here every year. If you are searching for Maine obituaries , there are a handful of online databases you can use to find what you are looking for. If the person you are looking for lived in or around the city of Ellsworth on the coast, they can search the local genealogy page that contains information taken from area newspapers and reprinted on the web for free.
The Curtis Memorial Library in Brunswick has a website where you can access Maine obituary records online. It contains listings from 1853 all the way up to 1960 and is free to use. The massive website RootsWeb offers an obituary index that is impressive to say the least.
Simply narrow down your search by county and you will have an excellent chance of uncovering some information. Just over the border in Portsmouth, NH, the Portsmouth Herald publishes listings from both New Hampshire and Maine, so if the person you are looking for lived in the southern part of the state, you may want to check here.
