Genealogy

The library offers genealogy research tools through multiple online resources. Our historic top floor is home to our print history collection, including our print collection of genealogy guides.

Our partners at the Jaffrey Historical Society have extensive genealogy experience and a vast knowledge of local history. To speak with a member of JHS, visit the Jaffrey Historical Society website or call them at 603-598-0120.
