Editorial Focus
The New Hampshire Genealogical Record (The NH Record) seeks well-written, carefully researched articles on individuals and families with connections to New Hampshire, including:
-
Family genealogies of two or more generations
-
Articles addressing genealogical questions, such as questions of parentage or identity
-
Transcriptions of records of genealogical interest that are difficult to access or decipher
We also welcome:
-
Articles on methodology, problem-solving, and novel approaches to research
-
Articles on New Hampshire that provide social, cultural, or historical context for genealogical research
-
Articles on topical or timely New Hampshire subjects, such as significant historical events and milestones
-
Articles on New Hampshire genealogical repositories and resources
-
Book reviews
-
We rarely accept “travelogue”-style articles that describe the research process; we prefer to publish the results of research.
Writing Guidelines
We ask authors to follow NEHGS style, as described in Stratton & Hoff's Guide to Genealogical Writing. All asserted facts not generally known should be supported by a footnoted citation, formatted according to Elizabeth Shown Mills's Evidence Explained.
Other references useful for submitters include the following:
-
Board for Certification of Genealogists, Genealogy Standards, 2nd ed. (Nashville, Tennessee: Ancestry, 2019).
-
Thomas W. Jones, Mastering Genealogical Proof (Arlington, Virginia: National Genealogical Society, 2013).
The latter book is particularly useful for case studies.
