Changing New England Records in the 1800s
Just as some New Englanders left their declining farms and headed west, industrialization arrived in New England and our ancestors' lives and records changed forever. The days when deeds and probate would solve genealogical problems gave way to a dizzying array of new census collections, state mandated vital records, poorhouse, prison and asylum records, sturdier cemetery markers, and military pensions. Let's re-teach ourselves as we trace 1800's ancestors.
