New Hampshire Research Tips[edit | edit source]
These tips will help you as you research your ancestors in New Hampshire.
- Birth information: Statewide birth registration began in 1866. Total compliance with the law was not accomplished until the 1880s, and even then the practice was not uniform. The best substitute record for locating birth information is death records (the majority of death records will list the date of birth of the decedent, and since death certificates are considered a primary resource, they can provide you with the same documentation as a birth certificate). Or, try these other substitute records.
- Finding Parents: Statewide death registration began in 1866. Total compliance with the law was not accomplished until the 1880s, and even then the practice was not uniform. They often will list the parents of the deceased and their birth information. Search New Hampshire death records
- Look in all censuses: Always look for your ancestor in every possible census. There are clues regarding immigration, naturalization, and occupation that can lead to other records. Sometimes parents can be found living with their children later in life. Search U.S. Censuses.
