However to do so required a lot of time, and effort, two scarce resources for genealogists. FamilyLink is a tool that connects people in such a way that it makes everyone and everything more efficient, and will become even better as people join the site. Need help finding your ancestor with a local lookup? - FamilyLink provides a perfect venue for families, genealogists and family historians to share their common interests and heritage as they connect with one another and upload their photos, family tree, and family history. Also, as with other social networks, the more people that use FamilyLink, the more useful it will become to everyone else. So I invite you to join and encourage others to join as well, so that we will soon have members in all of the cities of the world--all helping each other to find and preserve our heritage.

County History
Carroll
County was created by an act of the state legislature
approved December 23, 1840. In part the act stated
that Carroll county would include the following towns
which had previously made up part of Strafford. These
towns were: Albany, Brookfield, Chatham, Conway, Eaton,
Effingham, Freedom, Moultonborough, Sandwich, Tamworth,
Tuftonborough, Ossipee, Wakefield and Wolfeborough.
In 1853, Bartlett, Jackson, and Hart's Location were
disannexed from Coös county and became part of
Carroll county.
Carroll county received its name in commemoration
of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the last surviving
signer of the Declaration of Independence. Strafford
county, from which Carroll county was formed, was
one of the five original counties of New Hampshire.
The five included Rockingham, Hillsborough, Cheshire,
and Grafton. Chocorua Mountain, in Tamworth, is named
for a legendary Indian chief who either leapt from
his death from the mountain or died from a bullet
wound there. It is one of the most photographed mountains
in Carroll County.
The
first nails produced by machine in this country were
made in Chocorua in 1770. In 1785 the Tamworth Iron
Works was started to take the iron out of Ossipee
Pond. In 1804 the Tamworth Iron Works fashioned the
first screw augers made in the nation, which replaced
pod augers. The Tamworth Iron Works became the Chocorua
Iron Works in 1890.
Carroll
County is located in east central New Hampshire, bordering
Maine to the east. Its 933 square miles is dominated
by the White Mountain National Forest in the northern
half. With Mount Washington to the north and Lake
Winnipesaukee to the south, its major industry is
tourism and recreation. Over 40% of the jobs are in
eating and drinking establishments; hotel and other
lodging places; and, amusement and recreation. Manufacturing
accounted for just 9.8% of the private employment
in 1994, well below the 22.8% state average.
Two
of the largest of its seventeen towns, Conway and
Wolfeboro, stand out as popular destinations for tourists
and outdoor enthusiasts. Carroll County's largest
town is Conway, with a population of 7,926. The county's
total population is 36,439. The County is comprised
of 18 towns - Albany, Bartlett, Brookfield, Chatham,
Conway, Eaton, Effingham, Freedom, Jackson, Madison,
Moultonborough, Ossipee, Sandwich, Tamworth, Tuftonboro,
Wakefield, and Wolfeboro; and, one location - Hales.
