I'm pleased to announce that I have picked back up my transcription work on New Hampshire Women: A Collection of Portraits and Biographical Sketches of Daughters and Residents of the Granite State, Who are Worthy Representatives of their Sex in the Various Walks and Conditions of Life by The New Hampshire Publishing Co., Concord, NH, 1895. This is a wonderful volume. It's not often that you see a biography book mentioning the contributions of one or two women, yet this was a book containing 122 biographies of only women. Additionally, each biography is accompanied by a photo. You can't top that! A new biography will be posted each Sunday until they're all available.

Historical Rutland

I found a cute little history book on Rutland, Vermont, which will have sections released on even days on my website Family Findings.

The book is Historical Rutland: an illustrated history of Rutland, Vermont, from the granting of the charter in 1761 to 1911 by Rev. F. E. Davison, Rutland, Vt.: P.H. Brehmer, 1911. It had a lot of photos, but my xerox copy was bad, so I didn't try to post them. I'm sorry about that. I would have loved to be able to include the photos. Regardless, the text of the book can be found here. By the end of April, the entire book will be displayed. Enjoy!

The Connecticut River Valley in Southern Vermont and New Hampshire: Historical Sketches

I found a delightful book entitled The Connecticut River Valley in Southern Vermont and New Hampshire: Historical Sketches and have started transcribing it on my main site Family Findings under the History section.

The book was written by Lyman S. Hayes and published in 1929. It's a great resource for people researching the Rockingham, Vermont and Charlestown, New Hampshire area. It's not genealogies, but there are lots of fun topics on the area covered and some names mentioned. Consider it an easy to read compilation of historical essays on the area.

I've thoroughly been enjoying reading the book as I prepare it for free online access to you all on my website. There will be a new article pretty much every other day until the book is all posted. I think it will be worth your visit!
