1906 Panorama from Mt. Belknap, Lake Winnipesaukee, N.H..		Our goal at Genealogy Trails is to transcribe and post genealogical source data so that family researchers can track their ancestors through time, throughout the country. This county website needs a dedicated host to make this site the best that it can be! If you think that you may be interested in volunteering to host a county or state please view our Volunteer Information page and email Kim. (A desire to transcribe data and the know-how to make a basic webpage is required) Join our mailing lists for researchers looking to connect and share information. You never know who you might meet and what family data they may share with you -- it could start a whole new branch of the family! We also use the mailing lists to announce our website updates. Remember to look around at the other states and consider donating your source information -- every little bit helps someone. Please contact Kim if you have any questions or comments.
Belknap County was organized in 1840 by removing parts of northeastern Merrimack County and northwestern Strafford County. It is named for Dr. Jeremy Belknap, a renowned preacher, historian, and author of The History of New Hampshire. The first County Court was held within the town of Meredith, at a village known as Merideth Bridge on the Winnipesaukee River. In 1855, the town of Laconia was separated from Meredith.			1906 Kimball's castle, Belknap Point, Lake Winnipesaukee, N.H..
