        Until 1883 less than half of the population was recorded in the vital records. Moreover, these records often gave very little information about parents and their birthplaces. After 1901 the records are very complete and give much more genealogical information.

        Make check or money order payable to Treasurer, State of New Hampshire. One may visit the bureau and do research in person. They have a room, staffed by volunteers, where one may use the actual records. This is handy for people doing descendant genealogy because they may ask for all the records for one surname. The hours are from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm Monday through Friday (except Wed which closes at 3:30pm).

        In New England, the town clerk is the principal record keeper on the local level. The earliest records are called proprietor's records. Town records generally begin with the founding of a town and are kept to the present. Town records may contain records of births, marriages, burials, cemeteries, appointments, earmarks, estrays (records of stray animals), freemens' oaths (men becoming eligible to vote), land records, mortgages, name changes, care of the poor, school records, surveys, tax lists, town meeting minutes, voter registrations, and "warning outs" (of town). The original records are in the respective town clerk's office or the New Hampshire Historical Society.

        Research Preparation

If you outline your paper or project, you will be more ready when it comes to doing the footwork of getting the research done. Also, have a game plan before your venture into history exploration. Creators of family trees must record the names and dates of family members they know before searching for their ancestors’ information.

The Granite State makes the data available in a convenient location.

        Part of your preparation duties is to record as much as you can about the subjects for whom you are gathering evidence. The first and last name, the name of the spouse, and additional details are checkmark items for you to look into before doing further research. Being organized is the sign of an experienced researcher. If you are unprepared, your readers may notice and you will not produce a satisfactory product.

        Research can be fun! If you know how to unlock the primary sources that are necessary, you can write an excellent paper or design a complete family tree. There are also other people doing the same job you are doing. Genealogy and research websites pop up all over.

Local communities reward the history fanatics who give them lost knowledge about the area. The New Hampshire vital records, including birth certificates and death notices of the state’s citizens, help to enrich the state’s history.
