Hi, Epping, N.H., researchers, I just received my copy of the Spring 1999 Newsletter for the New Hampshire Society of Genealogists, Vol. 19, No. 2. On page 3 is an announcement that Mr. Donald Sanborn of Epping has been recording Epping history for nearly 70 years. He has given 7 printouts of his material to the Harvey-Mitchell Memorial Library on main Street in Epping. These include: 1) First families of Epping; 2) "Bicentennial History of Epping," by John J. Tilton, 1941; 3) News items of 1880-1889 by Mr. Sanborn; 4) Epping Cemeteries 1991 compiled by Mr. Sanborn researched by many others; 5) SANBORNs of Epping by Mr. Sanborn; 6) Descendants of Mr. Sanborn's GG Grandfather, Moses SANBORN; 7) Revolutionary War records by Mr. Sanborn. Mr. Sanborn is planning to update the printouts with the information on 3.5 floppies which the library can load into its computers. He tells NHSOG that his data base has about 40,000 entries and 2,000 pages of Epping history. It also includes several thousand old Epping pictures, some dating back to 1880. While we don't have any resident volunteer to do look-ups in Epping, you might want to include the town on the itinerary for your next research trip to the area. -- Dick Marston, Rockingham County, NH, GenWeb County Coordinator, [ http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/1706/ ]; Administrator: NHMERRIM, NHROCKIN and MARSTON mail lists; Millennium Mania Mischief, [ http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/1638/millennium.html ]
