Finding burial records in Bangor
- Bangor city clerk. The city clerk's office can help with death records for people who died in Bangor, and statewide records are kept by the Maine CDC's Office of Data, Research and Vital Statistics in Augusta (records from 1892 on). Recent records are usually restricted to close family; older ones are more widely available.
- Cemetery records. Ask the city clerk who cares for town-owned cemeteries; in Maine this is often a cemetery committee, sexton or cemetery association. The Maine Old Cemetery Association, a volunteer group, has collected inscriptions from many small burial grounds.
- Old town reports. Annual town reports often listed each year's deaths. Try the Bangor public library or the nearest library that keeps them.
- Local historical society. Historical societies often hold gravestone transcriptions, cemetery surveys and family files. The Maine Historical Society and the Maine State Archives in Augusta are good statewide sources.
- Penobscot County probate and deeds. Wills and estate files are at the Penobscot County Probate Court, and deeds at the Penobscot County Registry of Deeds. Deeds can mention family burial lots.
- FamilySearch. The free FamilySearch site has indexed Maine vital records and town records that can confirm a death date before you visit.
