Look-ups available so far for the towns of Amherst and Lyndeborough, NH

Jackie Marshall, genealogy chair for the Historical Society of Amherst, has graciously volunteered to do look-ups in some of the databases she has been working on.  The databases are listed below.  Please respectfully LIMIT your request to one or two names at a time.

1.  Amherst, NH Births, Marriages and Deaths, 1884-1903:
Description of database:  Vital record information from the Amherst Town Reports from 1884 to the present.  So far, Jackie has already indexed the births, marriages, & deaths from 1884 to 1903.  If you are looking for births, marriages or deaths after 1903, please specify a close, approximate date when requesting a look-up.
Contact:  Jackie Marshall
Please note: The information contained in these records varies through the years as to what is included in the town report. It is a secondary source, subject to error, but a good indication for family researchers that there will be further information at the Town Hall or state vital records office.

2.  Names of out-of-town residents buried in Amherst, 1884-1952:
Description of database:  Jackie has indexed the existing names of people who died out of town & were brought to Amherst for burial (when the Town Reports have this listing, which isn't every year) from 1884 to 1952. The information for the out-of-town deaths is highly variable, sometimes just a name, sometimes the place where they died, and sometimes more.  Contact:  Jackie Marshall
Please note: The information contained in these records varies through the years as to what is included in the town report. It is a secondary source, subject to error, but a good indication for family researchers that there will be further information at the Town Hall or state vital records office.

3.  Cemetery Inscriptions for Cricket Corner Cemetery, Chestnut Hill Cemetery, Meadow View Cemetery and Amherst Town Hall Burying Ground.
Description of database:  An on-going cemetery survey project is underway, and plans are being made to post the completed index online.  Jackie has offered to look-up information in those completed by volunteers thus far.  She writes:  "So far we've recorded 2,466 burials from the following Amherst cemeteries: Cricket Corner, Chestnut Hill, and Meadow View. The Boy Scouts Troop 22 finished the Chestnut Hill cemetery, my daughter & I finished the Cricket Corner Cemetery, and Meadow View has a ways to go but is certainly well over 3/4 complete. I haven't entered the Amherst Town Hall Burying Ground in the data base yet, but have an index on hand. This cemetery has been transcribed in the past and I'd like to double check the stones. St. Patrick's cemetery still needs to be done."
Contact:  Jackie Marshall

4.  Jackie Marshall's Family Tree Maker File of Amherst Families
Jackie's description of database:  "First I entered all the families that Daniel F. Secomb recorded in the genealogy portion of his book, History of the Town of Amherst, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire [1883]. I've been adding to the
families using the cemetery information, the town reports, and the census. I've also used some other local town histories. You can't imagine how many differences there are between all these sources! Family Tree Maker lets me put in the multiple birth dates (for example) with each source. It would be up to the family researcher to locate the primary record and make the judgment about which is correct. Usually the differences are slight: May or Mar, Jan or Jun, the date off by a few days, or the year having one year difference. Sometimes it's way out of
the ballpark too. Interesting because it shows us how vulnerable secondary sources can actually be. Add that to the fact that I'm re-copying all this & am also susceptible to making typos (9 instead of 0), there is always room for error, but I think it can be a useful clue tool.  Contact: Jackie Marshall
