New Hampshire Bible Records

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 Family History Library has many miscellaneous records of family Bibles. To locate those in New Hampshire, see the Place Search of the FamilySearch Catalog. Type in New Hampshire, then scroll down to Bible Records.

Copies, or abstracts of old family Bibles that are no longer known to exist, may survive in Revolutionary War Pension application files at NARA, Washington, D.C., which are available online at three commercial websites: Ancestry, Fold3, and Heritage Quest Online.
