Comments And Suggestions
Newspapers publish notices of marriage, divorce, death, funerals, obituaries, and wartime casualty lists. Notices include names of the persons involved and date of the event and may contain maiden names, names of parents, and other relatives.
Newspapers also publish articles of local interest, including religious and social events in the community with the names of those involved. Some newspapers serve several communities and devote columns to the everyday happenings in the area. Newspapers also include legal notices, estate sales, and advertising for local businesses.
New Hampshire’s newspapers began in 1756 with the Portsmouth New Hampshire Gazette. The New Hampshire Historical Society and the New Hampshire State Library are major repositories of New Hampshire newspapers. For addresses of these repositories, see “Archives and Libraries” and “Societies” sections of this outline.
Over 1,800 New Hampshire newspapers are cataloged in:

Available at www.state.nh.us/nhsl/network/newstitle_1.html.
