3. Franklin County

   Name: Roots & Branches - Franklin County & beyond Queries can be e-mailed to [email protected]. Or snail-mailed to "Queries PO Box 666 West Farmington ME 04992" The thrust to date to give info on how to find resources in our area, and then to publish queries. The Franklin Journal is NOT on-line. Nancy Porter will not have time to respond to the queries in the paper, but it is hoped that some of the readers of the newspaper will take time to respond. It's basically an opportunity for people to get their queries published. Queries will be limited to Franklin County primarily, but a few may be considered that float over the county lines into Oxford, Somerset and Kennebec, but only if the relationship seems appropriate.
