Comments And Suggestions
Many families traditionally recorded genealogies in their family Bibles. They are a good source of information about immediate family members and relatives. They may include names of parents, children, and spouses plus their dates of birth, marriage, and death. For some families, Bible records may have the only information of this kind. Family Bibles that are no longer in the family may be at a historical or genealogical society.

The New Hampshire Historical Society has a large Bible records collection. The card file index lists family surnames in alphabetical order and the call numbers of the records at the New Hampshire Historical Society. For the address of the society, see “Societies” in this outline.
