NH - Deed Searches

A while back I learned that the NH Registry of Deeds had created a website that you can search to locate deeds by county. Each county has a different range of dates available in the indexes, and a different set of scanned deed images available, depending upon how much they've managed to enter into their databases. All the counties have been diligently indexing and scanning new deeds, pushing their databases further back in time.

Currently the oldest available indexes online are for Rockingham County which goes back to 1643. Unfortunately the scanned images don't go nearly that far back. But it still can save you time, since you can identify deeds by books and pages in the comfort of your home, before venturing out to the county deed office to view or copy the deeds themselves.
