Town Record Book
Breathe Life into Your
Ancestors
with Town Records
|
In the original Town records you will
discover lists of
proprietors,
church members,
taxpayers, paupers,
militia,
dog owners, census records
before 1850 with names of all household heads, and
Civil War
veterans. These town records will also allow you to characterize
residents by activity in town affairs, inventories of belongings,
earmarks designed
for beasts, religious dissent, objections to proposed marriages, and
signatures on voting registers. Even
church and cemetery records
sometimes show up in a town hall. |
