Week 47 of the 52 Ancestors Challenge - "Thankful"

​THANKFUL, I truly am, for the availability of records that are online these days! Gone (for the most part) are the days of driving up to Concord, hoping to find an empty metered parking spot (good luck with that if the State House was in session), and signing up to use a microfilm reader at the State Library. The race was then on to find and copy as many records in the allotted usage time, with hopes that no one else will arrive and want to use the same machine, if the others were also taken.

One of my key research areas was the town of New Castle, New Hampshire, where a great many of my ancestors had resided. With there being a large amount of records pertaining to this town on microfilm, I spent a great deal of time copying or printing out hundreds of pages of tax lists and town meeting notes. These same films are now available for viewing on Family Search, making the process of revisiting these old families much easier! 

That said, I made myself (well, and anyone else that comes across this page) a listing of the volumes of records available for New Castle, with links added for ease in finding the different books contained on the films. Currently only browseable, perhaps they'll be indexed online some day. Now, THAT would save time!
