The Manchester History & Genealogy web site is a volunteer project to offer genealogical and history resources for researchers of this city and area. CELEBRATING MY WEB SITE'S TWELFTH ANNIVERSARY IN 2013.

This is NOT the "official" City of Manchester NH web site. All city business should be directed to http://www.manchesternh.gov/

If you have photographs or other Manchester NH information (such as historical documents, old bibles, etc) that you would like to share, please contact me, and I will give you credit for your photograph or other contribution.

This web site is dedicated to the memories of three amazing Manchester women--my mother Mary, my grandmother, Addie, and my great-grandmother, Julia.
