Hi Karen, It may be helpful to contact the Union Leader paper which has a website at http://www.theunionleader.com/ --Ann Girt@aol.com wrote: > Hi, > > I would like to know if anyone on this list does obituaries lookups for the > Manchester Union Leader.

Ann, I have tried searching the Union Ledger's archives with no success. I don't think they save obituaries but thank you anyway. Karen

Hi, I would like to know if anyone on this list does obituaries lookups for the Manchester Union Leader. I am looking for the obituary of Mary (Burke) DuBois. Her obituary appeared on or about April 22, 2000. I am willing to compensate. Karen in PA

For an official presentation see the listing on the State of NH web page at http://www.state.nh.us/localgovt/hillsbor.htm

Having been born and raised in Hillsboro I can tell you that the official name has not been changed, however the name used is Hillsboro, NH. I attended Hillsboro-Deering Schools and all mail is addressed to Hillsboro, NH 03244. The paper is the Hillsboro Messenger. Perhaps the reason the community shortened the spelling was to differentiate it from the county. I know this is a source of great confusion in the genealogy community, as requests for information from the entire county of Hillsborough is frequently directed to volunteers who have information on the town of Hillsboro. As a native and a genealogist I can tell you life is much easier if you can differentiate it that way. The population of the town I think has topped 5,000 now, where the county contains the largest cities of the state. ----- Original Message ----- From: Julie C Hesson <ww6916@dragonbbs.com> To: <NHHILLSB-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2000 8:08 PM Subject: Re: [NHHILLSB] Hillsborough Co.

It is spelled Hillsborough, shortened for space at deeds office to Hillsbr / Hillsboro

Yeah...I know...sigh...I'm finding it written both ways in several different sources...I guess I'll just leave it the way it is since it can go either way.

Thanks Julie, we do try not to put anything online that we wouldn't give out in person to reputable source. But a lot of newbies are not aware of this. Great idea to post it!! Dona

Hi List, First, let me apologize to everyone who receives this e-mail more than once. I have decided to send this to all the lists I am on to help the most people. As you know, there are times when searching for films, you need the soundex number for the surname you are researching in order to rent the proper film. I have found a great website that all you have to do is type in the surname and it will give you the soundex code for that name. Hope this is of help to a lot of people. http://www.nara.gov/genealogy/soundex/soundex.html Sue in Florida macduff@infi.net

Listmembers: The following probably goes without saying, but I think it's worth reiterating, for the trusting and unwary among us. We want to share our GedComs with our fellow listmembers, and we want the information to be as complete as possible--blank spaces are anathema to us genealogists. A word of caution: Please--do not place specific details of living persons, whether yourself, or family members, on the web. Identity theft is becoming big business, and the computer makes it increasingly possible, even probable that you, or someone you know, will become a victim. The FBI considers identity theft a huge--and growing--crime problem. By giving your complete name, date and place of birth, and your parents' names, you have just given any unscupulous person all the data they need, to steal your identity, and ruin your life. With the above information, they can write for a copy of your birth certificate, acquire a new copy of your Social Security number, get a replacement driver's license in your name, and acquire credit cards with which to charge $1,000's of dollars of stuff in your name. Once they have done this, your credit is in a mess, and they can just move on, to the next unsuspecting innocent person. If you send your family's history to a non-web group, such as a county genealogical group, for inclusion in a future publication, just be prudent, and leave out the specific birth and marriage data on living persons. Don't volunteer to become a victim--put no data of a personal nature on the web--don't email it through a listserver, which hosts surname boards, because it then is archived, and any unscrupulous archive-surfer has access to it. Don't make it easy for someone to steal your identity! Julie, who had a close call with identity theft....

Dear Julia, Thanks for the reminder. I said something similar to this on a list once and gotten a lot of flack for the effort! Phoebe

Hello everyone, I am seeking the marriage record of Edgar Mayhew & Ellen Towne. They were married 5 May 1872 in Manchester, Hillsborough Co., NH. Edgar was born 24 Mar 1852 in Hermon, Penobscot Co., ME and died 8 Sep 1925 in Goffstown, Hillsborough Co., NH (at the hospital). Ellen was born 27 Jul 1849 in Manchester, Hillsborough Co., NH and died 25 Sep 1878 in Dummerston, Windham Co., VT. Is there anyone out there who could possibly tell me where I could inquire about the record? I live in Maryland and use the Maryland Archives frequently. Does New Hampshire have a State Archives website? I have already tried the State of New Hampshire, Bureau of Vital Records, Office of Community & Public Health, Department of Health & Human Services, 6 Hazen Drive, Concord NH 03301-6527. I got a Could NOT Find Letter today in the mail. Please Help!!!!!!! Sue-Ellen Biddinger

Good Morning, Is there anyone on this list that may have the History of Manchester, by C. E. Potter, published in 1856? I have the book and have been in the process of putting it online at http://www.usgennet.org/usa/nh/county/hillsborough/manchester/book/index.html However, I have discovered that I am missing some pages. If there is anyone that might own the book and would be willing to make copies for me, I would appreciate your writing to me privately at rkleigh@bwn.net Thanks, Kathy Leigh ALHN-KS, MA, NH Co-State Coordinator ALHN-CO County Coord for Bent, Kiowa & Prowers COGenWeb County Coordinator for Bent & Prowers Migration Project for MA & NH Town Host for Manchester, NH Town Host for Goffstown, NH _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Dear Mimi, Yes there is a History of New Ipswich 1735 - 1914 by Charles Henry Chandler published in 1914. I believe that in order for a family to be mentioned, they I have lived in New Ipswich for 2 generations. I do have a copy of this book and in it there is one Joseph Stevens listed, parents are not mentioned but he married Abigail Knowlton, daughter of Benjamin Knowlton and Abigail Wright, she was born 25 June 1777 and died 19 Dec 1864, married Joseph 10 Feb 1795, he died 1 Dec 1846 and it states they had 13 children but there is no mention of any names. I don't know if any of this information is helpful to you or not but it is about all there is in this book.

Thanks, Stewart. I remember that one. It didn't list my Hudsons or Kimballs, either.
