Shannon, I too will be in new England Next week and some in Rockingham Co but not doing too much genealogy. If you plan to stay be Boston, going to NEHGS is a must. You can go to their website nehgs.org It is closed mondays! I used to always forget that! They have NH town records and the index, all the State censuses for New England. All microfilmed VR for New England. and good town histories and genealogies. It is a good place to start and they have staff who are experts on all the New England.states and can save you a lot of time! Info on all 6 NE states and a lot on Eastern Canada. There is a great book. It was out of print but was about to be reprinted any day now called Handbook for New England Research. tells places to go hours open etc. ( I know from experience that many of the town offices are closed for 1-2 hrs at lunch and some are not open all day every day. Also If you are near a Family History library they have printed "helps" for different states. Concord NH has the Archives, the Historical society, state library and VR office. Most are pretty close to one another. I have been to the Lane Library ( not for a while) and it has good info and helpful people. The Rockingham County courthouse was in EXETER but I think I read somewhere it had moved to Brentwood??? Maybe someone else can tell you about that. Depending on the time period, If you need naturalization records, they are in Waltham MA at the National Archives ( have almost all of New England there and it is soundexed in two separate indexes. Good luck and happy hunting!!.............jane in N CA
