Official records of births, marriages, and deaths occurring in each New Hampshire town or city have been kept by town clerks since the early 1600s. The town clerk sends copies to the Bureau of Vital Records and Health Statistics in Concord, New Hampshire. The original records of every town, early to 1900, are available at the Bureau and have been microfilmed and are available at the Family History Library, and family history centers. | Official records of births, marriages, and deaths occurring in each New Hampshire town or city have been kept by town clerks since the early 1600s.

Until 1883 less than half the population was listed in vital records. These records often gave little information about parents and their birthplaces. After 1901 the records are more complete and give much more genealogical information. | Until 1883 less than half the population was listed in vital records.

'''Birth''' records usually show the name and sex of the child, date and place of birth, and the parents’ names. They may also show the parents’ birthplaces and ages, mother’s maiden name, father’s occupation, and number of children born to the mother. A year by year search may reveal other children born to the couple. <br> | '''Birth''' records usually show the name and sex of the child, date and place of birth, and the parents’ names.
