Have you read the Record?
The New Hampshire Genealogical Record is an underused resource for genealogical and historical research and it is available online! Contents include church records; birth, marriage, and death records; cemetery inscriptions; family histories and more. If you have ancestors, who were living in New Hampshire anytime from the 1600s through the 19th century, you must read the Record.
Where can I find the Record?
Access the first six volumes online through the University of New Hampshire library. Alternatively, you can read and search these volumes on the Internet Archive. The search engine at the Allen County Public Library makes it easy to locate the correct files on the Internet Archive. Do you prefer to read the physical books and are in the Seacoast New Hampshire area? Head over to the Dimond Library at the University of New Hampshire.
How can I find my relatives in the Record?
Below you will find links to the genealogical records of interest in Volume I for towns in Rockingham County as well as nearby Dover, NH. These links will open the book in the Internet Archive online reader, which sports a nifty search inside box in the upper right hand corner. You also have the option of downloading and saving a pdf version. To search within a pdf version or any web page (from a pc), hit Control-F and enter your surname or subject of interest.
Think Outside the GenBox!
When searching, don't just search for your surnames and variations. Search for street names, occupations or religious institutions. Search for a year without a name and with an event, like marriage. Stretch your searching skills and see how creative you can be! Don't forget to record the searches you have done, so you don't have to repeat them in a few years. Excel or any spreadsheet program is useful for tracking your searches.
