I am compiling the Andrews families of Maine and their ancestors of Newfoundland.
My son-in-law, Jeff Andrews is married to my daughter, Elisenda “Cindy”.
The first of his line who immigrated to Maine is Robert Andrews b. 8 Jul 1882 Ship Cove.
The goal is not just to compile all of the surname Andrews in Newfoundland (not all are from the original planters), but have the project done for an Andrews Family Reunion planned for the summer of 2018 in Bangor, Maine. Newfoundlander’s invited. I can invite any qualifying Andrews onto the Ancestry file by inviting them. To qualify one has to be an Andrews descendant and give me their e-mail address. I update occasionally.I’d be interested in connecting (ericdann@me.com). I am descended from a Rachel Andrews, who named Ship Cove as her residence when she married Abraham Morgan in Port de Grave, on December 12, 1866. I haven’t been able to trace any further back in her line, but I would suspect that she is a relation of some sort to the Robert you mention. My family thinks Rachel was born around 1844 in Bareneed (near Ship Cove). The witnesses to her marriage were George Andrews and Elizabeth Andrews, although we don’t know their exact relation to Rachel.
