Join us in continuing our celebration of America's 250th with our final speaker program of the year, "Three Men and a One-Shilling Knife: a Genealogical Look at Local History".
This engaging program uses a dramatic 1788 tavern killing in
New Durham to show how genealogists uncover the stories from the past. Through
newspapers, court records, military records, petitions, and other original
sources, the lecture follows the intertwined lives of three Revolutionary War
veterans and reveals how family history research can illuminate the people,
events, and communities of New Hampshire’s past.-- program blurb
