  1. Ari – It’s a play a words, or should I say that I just made up a word? For 27 years I was a genealogy magazine editor. When I lost my last job as editor, I decided to subtitle my blog as “not a magazine,” but with a twist in the spelling…

  2. Can you tell me why there are no vital records for Swanzey, Cheshire county, NH from the years 170-1785? I had a researcher from NEHGS say, “Good luck” when I told her I was looking for my 3rd great grandfather who was supposed to have been born there in 1775. Also, his father, Wright S. Brown is written up in The History of Swanzey, NH but no mention of any of his kids…on a couple who died. Where can I find VR for this town?

  3. Those years are from 1750-1785 and when I mentioned Wright Brown’s children, only a couple of kids were mentioned…sorry I should have reread my message before sending it.
