Compiled Genealogies

The term genealogy is used to describe a variety of records containing family information previously gathered by other researchers, societies, or archives. These records can include pedigree charts, compiled data on families, correspondence, ancestor lists, record abstracts, and collections of original or copied documents. Most archives, historical societies, and genealogical societies have special collections and indexes of genealogical value. These collections and indexes generally must be researched in person. These sources can save time, but because they are compiled from other sources, they must be carefully evaluated for accuracy.

Statewide and Regional Collections

Manuscript Collections

Many genealogies have been researched and published for the colonial states. Names of the earliest immigrants and settlers have been identified. Many important manuscript collections are at the New England Historic Genealogical Society and the New Hampshire Historical Society. For the addresses of these societies, see New Hampshire Societies.

New Hampshire Society of Genealogists. The New Hampshire Family Register, 1623–1910. Salt Lake City, Utah: Genealogical Society of Utah, 1987. (On 10 FS Library films beginning with 1532156.) This register includes family group sheets, names of grooms and brides, and all other persons listed on the family group sheets. These are arranged by surname.
The New Hampshire Society of Genealogists has published a book, New Hampshire Families in 1790. This is result of their project to document the families who lived in New Hampshire at the time of the 1790 federal census. On their internet site they have an every-name index to that book. They desire to publish other volumes in that series and ask researchers to submit their family information.

Daughters of the American Revolution (New Hampshire). Genealogical Collection. Washington, D.C.: DAR Library, 1971. (On 15 FS Library films beginning with 870152.) The volumes are arranged alphabetically by towns, then subject. This collection contains transcripts of Bible, cemetery, church, and vital records.

The New Hampshire Notables Card File, cited in the New Hampshire Biography, has over 30,000 cards that contain the names of New Hampshire residents with the date and place of birth and a source title.
Piscataqua Pioneers. For this collection about early settlers see the Societies section.
General Society of Colonial Wars. Lineage Records . . . Supplemental Records. In searching for Colonial period ancestors from the 1600s to 1783 you may wish to search the lineage papers of the General Society of Colonial Wars. These are available in the FamilySearch Library. They are a valuable resource.
The lineage papers are well-researched, and well-documented with information on births, marriages, and deaths in family lines from a Colonial period ancestor to someone who applied for membership in the society in the last 100 years.
The film, 1,425,262 item 27 can be viewed at the FamilySearch Library and at some FamilySearch Centers. Call ahead to see if your local center has the microfilm. If not, it may need to be obtained through an inter-library loan. This has the book Master Index of Indexes of Ancestors of The Society of Colonial Wars, by Ronald L. Olsen, published in 1992. This is an index to many men of the Colonial period who were in the military or in government leadership positions. Hopefully in the future this book will be available in digital form on familysearch.org.
When you receive the film at a FamilySearch center, look for the names of your Colonial-period male ancestor, their father, brothers, uncles, etc. When you find a name, then the next step is to determine the lineage papers' number. For this you will need to view the film for that surname from these films:
528,690 surnames Abbey to Baylor
528,691 surnames Beach to Cruttenden
528,692 surnames Cudworth to Hampton
533,971 surnames Hance to Loper
533,972 surnames Lord to Reynor
533,973 surnames Rhett to Travis
533,974 surnames Treat to Zimmerman
In these alphabetical cards, look up the card for your relative. You will then see the number of the lineage papers or supplemental lineage papers of that ancestor. There will be a lineage papers' number between 1 and 14,199, or a volume number between 1 and 61, with supplemental papers’ number.
Your next step is to view the microfilm of the lineage papers. The films are listed in the FamilySearch Catalog in familysearch.org. In the Catalog film number box you can type in the film number for the first film in this collection, film number 528,677. You will then see the list of films with the lineage papers’ numbers, and, supplemental papers’ volumes and papers, with their film numbers.
Locate the film for the correct number of the lineage papers or supplemental papers’ volume, and you will receive the film at the center in a few weeks. The lineage records will hopefully give you important information to complete a particular family tree. If you wish to contact the society, see theEncyclopedia of Associations, available at major libraries.

Nationwide Indexes

You will find information about some of your ancestors in important nationwide genealogical indexes. These indexes are described in the following Wiki articles:

Writing and Sharing Your Family History

Sharing your own family history is valuable for several reasons:

It helps you see gaps in your own research and raises opportunities to find new information.
It helps other researchers progress in researching ancestors you share in common.
It draws other researchers to you who already have information about your family that you do not yet possess.
It draws together researchers with common interests, sparking collaboration opportunities. For instance, researchers in various localities might choose to do lookups for each other in remote repositories. Your readers may also share photos of your ancestors that you have never seen before.

Websites about Your Family

Search the Internet for family history web sites about your surname. A Google search or a Yippy search may find several sites about your surname.

FamilySearch Library

FamilySearch Catalog, Last name Search, allows a search of the family histories in the FamilySearch Library, and gives information about the book with its FS Library book or film number.
