Editor,
Recently the Biddeford Historical Society accepted the donation of a microfilm reader/printer with another outstanding gift — microfilm reels containing the birth, marriage and death records of 84 parishes in the Province of Quebec. Undoubtedly these files will be of great interest to our community.
Nancy Auclair of Saco donated her collection to the historical society for the expressed purpose to make them available to help our community trace their past. The Biddeford Historical Society is loaning these gifts to the Franco American Genealogical Society at McArthur Library.
The Biddeford Historical Society sincerely hopes the community will use this great gift to further strengthen our personal histories and discover new relatives and friends.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
