The Social Network for Genealogists and Their Families! -FamilyLink has been created to facilitate genealogists in working together in ways that have never been attempted before in the genealogy world with a tool that is easy to use and understand. Connect with genealogists that live in the cities of your ancestors - FamilyLink users can view the profiles of other individuals, communicate with individuals who have researched or are currently researching in their area of interest through the City Link feature, meet new individuals who also participate in the service, share photos, genealogical information, and post comments. Build FREE Ancestor web pages - Additional features include a news feed system, Ancestor Pages, announcements pages, email features, shared connections between WorldVitalRecords.com and FamilyLink.com, and will soon include a family tree. Connect with Family Historians from around the world! - In the past genealogists were able to make connections with other genealogists. 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
In
1771, New Hampshire was divided into five counties.
Hillsborough County was formed at that time as one
of the original counties. Hillsborough
County was organized on May 6, 1771 and named in honor
of Will Hill, the Earl of Hillsborough. The county
has the largest population in the state with 346,160
residents, nearly one-third of whom live in the city
of Manchester.
By
1823, there were 42 townships within Hillsborough
County (see 1823 map and profile ). Several of the
northern townships were set off to the newly formed
Merrimack County the same year. The townships which
became part of Merrimack County were: Andover, Boscawen,
Bradford, Dunbarton, Fishersfield, Henniker, Hooksett,
Hopkinton, New London, Salisbury, Sutton, and Warner.
