Coos County
(pronounced "ko-as"
with two syllables) Formed in 1803
Coos County was
separated from the northern part of Grafton County, New Hampshire and
organized at Berlin December 24, 1803, although the county seat was later
moved to Lancaster, with an additional shire town at Colebrook. The name
Coos derives from the Algonquian Indian term meaning crooked, the Indian
name of the Connecticut River, which rises in the northernmost end of the
county.
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. (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.
