A USGENWEB PROJECT GENEALOGY SITE
In New England, the town clerk is the principal record keeper on the local level. The earliest records are called proprietor's records. Town records generally begin with the founding of a town and are kept to the present. Town records may contain records of births, marriages, burials, cemeteries, appointments, earmarks, estrays (records of stray animals), freemens' oaths (men becoming eligible to vote), land records, mortgages, name changes, care of the poor, school records, surveys, tax lists, town meeting minutes, voter registrations, and "warning outs" (of town). The original records are in the respective town clerk's office or the New Hampshire Historical Society. To obtain copies of Concord records you will need complete genealogical information. The following are available - Birth, Death & Marriage records since 1640 may be obtained from the City or Town Clerk at a cost of $12.00 per record.. Records of Divorce since 1808 may be obtained from the State office or from the Clerk of the Superior Court in the county where the divorce was granted. Cost per record is $12.00
