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
1808, Concord became the capital of New Hampshire
and quickly became the hub of the county. Major attractions
and historical sites abound in the Concord area.
Brief
History: Concord, the capital of New Hampshire, covers
an area of 64 square miles and has a population of
approximately 34,500 people. The political heart of
the state, Concord began as a small unnamed trading
post in 1659 along the Merrimack River. A bend in
the river named Penny Cook by the Indians was the
site in 1697 of Hannah Dustin's famous escape from
Indian captors. Kidnaped on a raid of Haverhill, MA
Hannan Dustin scalped her sleeping captors and escaped.
Settlers
increased in the region and the land was granted in
1725 and named the Plantation of Penacook. In 1733,
it became the town of Rumford, and in 1765 Governor
Wentworth granted the name Concord for the town. The
town grew and by 1775 there was a population of 1,052.
Timothy Walker made sure the convention on ratification
of the U.S. Constitution was held in Concord and he
was instrumental in obtaining that ratification in
1788.
Throughout
the 1780's state government met in various locations
in NH including Concord. Its central location made
it an ideal spot for permanent government and in 1808,
Concord became the capital. The State House was completed
in 1819 and has since remained the meeting site of
the largest legislature in the United States. Concord
continued to grow and become a trade center. Several
industries sprang up and in later years Concord granite
was used to construct buildings throughout New England
and the East.
