The different local and general history books published in New Hampshire are essential for genealogists researching colonial and Revolutionary War ancestry. Many town histories date back to the 1700s and include detailed genealogies, church and land records, and biographical information about founding families. These publications often highlight civic involvement, military service, and migration to other parts of New England and beyond. With rich documentation of early settlements, family lineages, and local traditions, New Hampshire histories help genealogists place their ancestors within the social and cultural fabric of early America. Whether tracing deep colonial roots or later generations, these books provide clarity and context.
