Young Family Genealogical Workbook

by Donald Young, Jackie Young Watts and Isabel Morse Maresh

The Young Family Genealogical Workbook was done in 1991. Donald L. Young had spent many years collecting Young Family data. His paternal cousin Jackie Young Watts had collected many photos of Young families, as well as being active in the Young reunions, which had been held for over one hundred years. In 1990, Jackie enlisted her maternal cousin, Isabel Morse Maresh; to help them put the book together. The trio met weekly for a year. Don put the data into a computer, which he was learning. Isabel corrected data, wrote letters and pasted photos, while Jackie made phone calls and did legwork bringing it down to present generations. They made trips to the Maine State Archives in Augusta to gather more data. The work is a copyrighted book with copies at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. and has 770 pages, with over 1000 pristine photos.
