"Three Men and a One-Shilling Knife: A Genealogical Look at Local History."

"Three Men and a One-Shilling Knife: A Genealogical Look at Local History" Presented by the New Hampshire Society of Genealogists, this engaging program uses a dramatic 1788 tavern killing in New Durham to show how genealogists uncover the stories from the past. Through newspapers, court records, military records, petitions, and other original sources, the lecture follows the intertwined lives of three Revolutionary War veterans and reveals how family history research can illuminate the people, events, and communities of New Hampshire’s past.
