VOLUNTEERS /
TOWN COORDINATORS
Are you familiar with the resources for a town in Grafton County, New
Hampshire?
Have you researched genealogical and/or historical records of a town in Grafton
County, New Hampshire? Would you like to volunteer to assist with one of
the Grafton County, NH Towns?
While county and state NHGenWeb pages contain helpful information and resources, since they cover larger areas, and larger populations, they tend to be more general. Town pages, on the other hand, since they are typically covering a smaller geographic area, can often include a great deal more detailed information, records, and local resources, thereby helping to give online visitors a better "feel" for the place that their ancestors called home.
Please read the following guidelines and tips. Then, if you are interested in becoming a town coordinator, for a Grafton County, New Hampshire town, please contact: Ann Mensch
If you do not wish to become a town coordinator, but would still like to
help, you may volunteer assistance in a number of ways by: gathering
information, transcribing specific records, indexing specific records, donating
materials, and so forth. If you are interested in volunteering your
assistance, please contact: Ann
