Finding burial records in Gorham
- Gorham town clerk. The town clerk's office can help with death records for people who died in Gorham, 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 town 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 Gorham 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.
