That Nathaniel was son of Deacon John. > I have a NH birth certificates for: > Nathaniel Blanchard, b 3/20/1796 ... Question: was this list of Nathaniels a complete sample of Nathaniel births in the NH state records up to 1800 or some such date? Or was it just a selection? Incidentally, those births in Dunstable are all included in the published vital records of Dunstable, Mass (with the notation "N.R.", meaning "1st book of vital records at city hall in Nashua, NH"). I presume the NH state archives also copied their records from the same source. John
