My husband and I just got back from a trip to New England, Boston up to Maine and on the way back we stopped in New Hampshire and viewed my husband's GGGGGgrandfather's grave in Hollis. Then found a bunch more in Dunstable. This is just serendipity that this webinar appeared!! Can't wait to get started digging!!
Excellent presentation of New England records, but also a good example of why I view as many webinars as possible. Not only did she describe her topic, but she also provided several examples of how records are combined or separated from the original formats and how Ancestry and Family Search document the original source.
Have been struggling to find records in New England so this was very helpful in giving me new direction to continue my search.
I've been using New England records for years, and I learned a lot. Thanks!
great information for me as i search for family in 1700 & 1800's Massacusetts
Whole different view point of these records and a fantastic explanation of their evolution. Great topic.
Great presentation
Learned a lot. Wish I had more New England ancestors.
