Finding burial records in Dover
- Dover city clerk. The city clerk's office can help with death records for people who died in Dover, and statewide records are kept by the New Hampshire Division of Vital Records Administration (part of the Secretary of State's office, in Concord). Recent records are usually restricted to close family; older ones are more widely available.
- Cemetery records. For town-owned cemeteries, ask the city clerk who keeps the burial lists and lot maps. Many New Hampshire towns elect cemetery trustees for this.
- Old town reports. Annual town reports often listed each year's deaths. Try the Dover public library or the nearest library that keeps them.
- Local historical society. Historical societies often hold gravestone transcriptions, cemetery surveys and family files. The New Hampshire Historical Society and the New Hampshire State Archives in Concord are good statewide sources.
- Strafford County records. Wills and estate files (probate) and deeds at the Strafford County Registry of Deeds can mention family burial lots.
- FamilySearch. The free FamilySearch site has indexed New Hampshire vital records and town records that can confirm a death date before you visit.
