I did find my marriage license, and I also found my name listed in the U.S. Public Records Index at two prior addresses, although one was actually a mailing address and not a town where I have ever lived. (In a previous search on ancestry.com, I found a significant error in a family obituary. I guess this shows the need, when possible, to double-check information discovered through genealogical research.) It was handy to be able to quickly print results and to hover the cursor over results and get a brief overview. I’d like to further explore the yearbooks link to see whether that would be useful for library patrons.

My great-grandfather was easy to find in both the 1920 and 1930 U.S. Census records. The record listed everyone who lived in his household, including his grandparents, my great-great-grandparents. I have looked up family members at the U.S. Census Web site, and I found that I was able to get information much more easily with Ancestry Library.

The results I got for "Maine" under "Photos and Maps" were curious. The first two results were photos of California soldiers who served in World War I, which didn't seem to have any connection to Maine. Other results, though, were various Maine-related photos and many images of baseball cards featuring Maine natives. When I tried to refine my search by naming a specific town, I got results from every town in that county. I'd like to do a little more experimenting with narrowing  the search.
