The Grand Isle town clerk was a little nervous when Marada Cook and Ryan Redmond brought their infant to the town office to be registered July 23, 2007. “Seems we were all three a little nervous,” Clerk Marie Sirois recalled recently. “It was a first-time experience for me.” In her years as clerk, she had never been asked to record the birth of a child born in the town. “I called Augusta to guide me,” she said. “They were very helpful in Augusta, guiding me on what documents to use, what forms to fill out.” Marie gave the appropriate forms to the new parents to look over while she called Augusta again for the answers to their questions. It’s no wonder the procedure was unfamiliar. The couple learned later that their firstborn, Eli, was the first child born at home in the town of Grand Isle in 40 years.
