On that <scoop.evansville.net>, re "Educational Site", I've been messin'
around with all the different links and one which was particularly
interesting to me was the cemeteries in Maine.

I went to "Welcome to USGen Web Archives; then ME Archives table of
contents; then to Maine Subject Archives -Cemeteries; then to
Transcription Project; then to Maine Tombstone; then to Cemetery Surnames
and clicked on HA-HZ.

If you go there on your Net look particularly at Notch Cem. New Vineyard,
ME; Taylor Hill and Village Hill Cem's in Strong, ME; East and North New
Portland ME Cem.'s. Actually in the No. New Portland Cem. it only had
PELEG HACKET d. 12-28 1834 at age 27 yrs. Then in the Daggett Cem., New
Vineyard, ME they had only one, GRANVILLE HACKETT, found in the Maria H.
NEWELL lot, his wife who was b. 7-29-1848 and she died 7-25-1900. Didn't
give when he died or was born. The Notch Cem. in New Vineyard, ME Cem has
the most Hacketts as far as I looked among the many, many, in ME listed,
which I didn't access them all yet. Taylor Cem. had four, one being MOSES
HACKETT & wife ELIZABETH HACKETT and two children all with dates...and so
on, but take a look and be prepared to spend some time , although
clicking on the HA-HZ saves a lot of time. Just don't miss that Notch
Cemetery.

So many sites to explore at this site. However, one has to keep linking
up, which I guess I should have said that in the beginning as people have
been e-mailing saying they went to the Scoop Cybersleuth site and didn't
find ANYTHING, because they expected that was "IT"! Guess they didn't
realize how much of a dumbie I am with computers, so maybe I ought not to
give out computer "stuff"! Sorry folks at Hackett-L/Bennett-L, however,
LINK UP there is plenty there on all surnames, except COWENBRAY,re,
HANNAH COWENBRAY who m. JOHN WILLIAMS in the mid to late 1700's, which
I've not found anywhere I've looked in the past five years. It's an
important link to a Williams genealogy I'm doing for a childhood friend
of mine.
