Here's a sampling of the helpful tips you'll get in the New Hampshire guide:
  • New Hampshire established the country’s first publicly funded library (1833), and since 1952, has traditionally held the nation’s first presidential primary.
  • Towns, not counties, record vital statistics in the Granite State. New Hampshire began requiring town clerks to report births, marriages and deaths to the state in 1866, but most didn’t comply until the 1880s.
  • WWI draft registration cards for men age 18 to 45 list each soldier’s address, birth date, birthplace, race, nationality, citizenship and next of kin. NARA holds the originals and the FHL has microfilm copies; they’re also searchable on Ancestry.com.
Plus, each guide contains active web links for one-click access to every recommended online resource. You can view this PDF on your computer and print pages for reference.
