United Way of Central and Northeastern Connecticut's Volunteer Budget Coaching (VBC): Here to help you lead a more financially secure and independent life by achieving your financial goals.
We all have finances that need to be tracked...so why not get help from a trained volunteer? As a participant in the program, you will drive the process. You'll be guided by a Volunteer Budget Coach, working one-on-one with you to set and meet your financial goals. Your coach will help you review, understand and plan your personal finances. Together, you'll create an action plan to work towards a more financially secure future. Learn more: http://www.unitedwayinc.org/becomemoremoneysavvy
Last year, 100 percent of program participants said they learned better money management skills. "I felt a little vulnerable," Stephen says of joining United Way's Volunteer Budget Coaching program, "but the volunteer was very non-judgmental, and he made me take a step back, look at my finances and make a plan. I had my own goals, what I wanted to accomplish, and they sort of changed a lot when I got together with Mike," says Stephen. "If I was on my own trying to do this, it really wouldn't have happened." Read his full story: http://www.unitedwayinc.org/Stephen
VBC is one way United Way, its partners and volunteers are champions for working families. This includes the newly revealed demographic, ALICE (Asset, Limited, Income Constrained, Employed), families who live above the federal poverty line, yet struggle to pay bills, put food on the table and make ends meet every day.

DNR Expects Quick Fix to Wolf Website Glitch
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The Department of Natural Resources says it expects to soon fix a problem with the website that tallies the number of wolves killed in the state's inaugural wolf season.
Hunters and trappers are required to check the site or a telephone hotline to see whether the quota has been reached and the season has been closed.
DNR spokesman Chris Niskanen says the glitch, which caused the numbers to stop updating properly, likely stemmed from the change in years. He says the vendor expects to have it fixed Wednesday. An erroneous phone message will also be corrected.
The northwest zone remains open. At least 170 wolves have been killed there, 17 short of the 187 allowed.
Wolf hunting opponents say the problem reinforces their concerns about the season.

Summer is the time for beach combing, bike riding, melon eating...and apparently product testing. Warmer weather means less dry, sensitive skin for me, so as long as I stay out of the sun, I tend to take these 3 months to test out new skincare bits.
Starting on the left, let me contradict myself on the first product. I am merely trying out Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream since I picked it up last month; no connection to my seasonal skincare theory. My typical cuticle treatment of choice is coconut oil, but I find this is convenient to carry around in my bag. It isn't very emollient but I like that as it doesn't melt or separate in the heat. Did I mention it smells amazing too? Lemon is one of my favorite scents of all time so I just open this up to take a whiff.
Next is a product that was in my May Favorites post; the Neutrogena Clear Face liquid-lotion sunscreen. I try to give skincare a 3-4 month test run before incorporating it into my main routine and this may fit the summer bill. Worth noting is its lack of hydrating properties; this would certainly not be enough on its own for me come autumn/winter. A lightweight, effective and inexpensive SPF option still.
A complete impulse purchase from Target is the No7 Beautiful Skin Cleansing Water. When I lived in France, I tried the famous Bioderma micellar water and hated it. It burned my eyes and didn't remove my waterproof mascara whatsoever. I know I am probably the only blogger in the world who dislikes Bioderma but it just didn't work for me. In fact, I have yet to stumble across a micellar water that does. First impression of this No7 offering is it smells like alcohol...but I want to give it a fair run despite the cynic in me!
Lastly we have a Sephora 100 point perk I received in April. The Murad Rapid Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Serum is meant to fade sunspots, acne scars and general skin discoloration. This serum contains 2% hydroquinone, which works as the lightening agent. I have been using this on my acne scars nightly since June and unfortunately have not seen noticeable improvement. This sample size is almost out, so I may move onto something else. Scars take a long time to fade though so I don't discount this serum. It does contain a decent amount of alcohol; a known irritant so for that reason I won't be shelling out for the full size.
Have you been trying any new things this summer?

Remember when Valentine's Day used to be a thing, back before you had kids? We polled more than 800 moms to find out how they celebrate (um, if they celebrate) post-kids, what they really want to get as a gift (dads, please take note), and if they'll be engaged in duty nookie February 14. Some of their responses may surprise you:
A Family Affair:
- A third of respondents say V-Day is less of a big deal after becoming parent, and another one third say the holiday is now more about the kids than it is just mom and dad.
- One in 10 stubborn romantics say V-Day becomes more important after kids—it's crucial to carve out special time with your significant other.
Spend sweetly:
- Moms will spend, on average, a thrifty $24 on a Valentine's Day gift for their spouse—just a mere dollar more than the $23 they will spend on gifts for their kids.
- A third won't spend a dime on gifts for their partner, because they don't exchange them.
- Just 2 percent plan to splash out with a V-Day gift of more than $100 for their partner.
Sweet lovin':
- Moms were nearly split when asked if they planned to have sex on Valentine's Day: 52% expect they will, and 48% do not expect to have sex.
- Of the 52% who expect to have sex, one in five say they'll do it out of obligation, because it's expected.
Forget me not:
- Nearly one quarter of moms admit that either they or thier spouse have completely forgotten Valentine's Day.
- Of those who have forgotten, 58% did so after having kids.
Matt Damon, Dream Date:
- When asked who their dream celebrity dad Valentine would be, the most popular choice was Matt Damon, followed by Johnny Depp and David Beckham.
Sorry, Tiffany's:
- The gift more than a third of moms say they want most for V-Day? Quality time – a babysitter and a date night out.
- One in 7 most covet a day/night off from the kids and household responsibilities.
Moms' worst Valentine's gifts:
- My husband put $20 in a card because he felt bad he did not get me a gift.
- Nothing.
- New Iron. I needed it but... still...
- Can opener
- A single fake rose from a gas station.
Moms' best Valentine's gifts:
- He writes me a poem every year.
- Got pregnant on Valentine's Day with child #3
- Homemade card from my daughter.
- A framed menu from the restaurant where we had our first date.
- A CD that my husband made of all the love songs and wedding songs we used to listen to when we first met.

It is long past time to question the appalling intellectual dishonesty that has led us to kill 55 million children through abortion in the past 40 years. We must, as a matter of justice, find better solutions to difficult pregnancies. Civilized societies thrive through smart, creative, generous, life-giving and just solutions to their difficulties. Civilized societies do not kill children as a solution to any problem, no matter how grave. No society can claim to be just while legally killing its own children in the name of "choice."
Abortion is the deliberate taking of the life of another human person. No religious beliefs are required in order to comprehend this, but one does need to understand basic biology. In terms of genetics, which determines what a creature is, there is no fundamental difference between a 10-day-old embryo, an 8½-month-old fetus, an utterly dependent newborn, a disobedient toddler, a defiant teenager and a wheelchair-bound grandmother. From the moment of conception, when a human egg is fertilized by human sperm, nothing is added other than nutrition and time — both are required for the growth of any organism. Is not conception the only logical place at which to conclude that the organism is a human?
Some contend that the organism in the womb does not become human until she is able to survive outside the womb. The problem with this definition is that it depends upon medical technology rather than on biological facts. As technology advances, the age at which one can survive outside the womb gets ever earlier. The organism is not made more human because a machine can now support her at an earlier age.
While establishing the human-ness of the unborn is important in considering this issue carefully, in fact few people dispute this anymore. Even most of those who favor legal abortion acknowledge that she is a human child; elementary biology forces this acknowledgment. Tragically, an unexpected pregnancy can be such a huge burden that some have concluded that even though the child's humanity is clear, the right of the mother to be free of the pregnancy supersedes the right of the child to live. We must vehemently reject that argument. It is no more reasonable than it would be to propose that it is acceptable to kill a 2-year-old or a 10-year-old or a 45-year-old who is causing severe stress in our lives. Future generations will look back in horror upon our dreadful rationalization of abortion and the disservice we have done women by failing to come up with life-affirming solutions.
Every so often, we hear a tragic story about a mother who has killed her young (already born) child. Despite our deep sympathy and sorrow for the mother (since we assume that she must have been suffering from post-partum depression, or been in a terribly abusive relationship, or experiencing other awful things that led her to murder her child), who among us would suggest that what she did ought to be legal in the name of "choice"? And if killing an already-born child should not be legal, then does it not defy logic to propose that it should be legal to kill the child just a short time earlier while she is still in the womb? Legal abortion is simply not a logically defensible position if we agree that killing babies outside the womb should be illegal.
Well-intentioned people who approach the issue with open minds and sincerely consider the facts about abortion often find that they have no alternative but to conclude that it is indeed wrong. It seems that the only way not to reach that conclusion is through faulty reasoning, or through intellectual dishonesty: finding the problem of unexpected pregnancies to be so difficult for our society to figure out that we shut our eyes to the facts so that we are not forced by truth to remove abortion from our arsenal of solutions. An awful lot of women and men have come "kicking and screaming" to the pro-life movement, recognizing that a civilized society finds better solutions to its very real and difficult issues than killing our children.
I respectfully ask that we work together to create a society in which men and women share in the responsibilities that come with pregnancy and in which women, however desperate, do not feel that their only choice is abortion.

Vital Records
Vital records are handled by the County Orphans' Court. Between the years 1852-1855 Pennsylvania made a failed attempt to record birth, marriage and death events at the county level. While the records for that time period are available, there were few events recorded. County marriage records were kept in earnest in 1885. Births and deaths, at the county level, were begun in 1893 and kept through 1905. Abstracts and copies of vital records are available for some counties, but most are incomplete. For the most complete set of records, always contact the County Orphans' Court.

World Youth Day
Dear friends,
No one, not even the British Crown, can put on a show like the Catholic Church. A papal funeral or election or the World Youth Day here in Sydney becomes a global liturgy. Hostile press, complaining about costs and road closures, join the bandwagon and run headlines about the Pope working miracles with the weather and the euphoria of a city caught up in the youthful energy of God. The world stops and watches the ceremonies unfold (apparently) with religious perfection. More boats fill Sydney harbour for the pope than for the Australian centennial celebrations. The non-believer and cynics reluctantly feel moved by what they don't believe in. Politicians declare that faith is real. It is a brave critic who voices dissent to such a populace. And there truly is grace at work in the numbers, hectic schedules and the over-stimulation of it all.
It is the Church's audaciousness that takes one's breath away. As the pews of former Christendom continue to empty, the piazzas can still be filled with enthusiastic young people who are oblivious to the criticisms leveled against the institution they feel triumphantly they belong to. There is rich contradiction everywhere. A papacy that advocates restoration of the Tridentine rite shares limelight with rapping priests and rock concerts as well as Taize worship and Christian meditation.
The church has always been composed of self-contradictions striving to achieve the state of paradox. That perhaps is the charism of Catholicism as it tirelessly tries to be truly catholic, inclusive rather than just another sect. Contradiction is irrational and leads to conflict and exclusion. Paradox is the portal of mystery and the life-blood of unity. And, however rarely and unpredictably realized it may be, one has to keep on trying for it or give up on the project of Church altogether. As the post-modern philosophers say there is always the possibility of the impossible and World Youth Day, true to its name, has become a kind of post-modern fiesta as well as an enriching global catechesis. The infinite connectivity of the internet, where everything can be linked to everything else, seems to have become flesh momentarily in the streaming video of the urban confluence of cultures and languages.
Yet (an annoying little voice reminds us) the role of the crowd in the gospels is always to be wrong. The paradox glimpsed in these contradictions is deep and anarchic. As the pope was welcomed in Sydney Harbour some organisers of the WYD Christian Meditation Centre took the Day to a meditation group in a women's prison a few miles away. Cardinal Pell had visited the prison some months ago and the genuine kindness of his presence with them was still lifting their oppressed spirits. Another ecclesiastical contradiction. Pilloried by the liberals, he is loved by the homeless men he visits regularly or the prisoners he does not forget.
The women inmates, like monks, make much of small things, the issues and struggles of their enclosed cloister. Like the Little Flower some of them have plunged deep. They understand when you say that, like Therese, they can find their vocation loving the world, hidden with Christ in God, at the heart of the Church. Cardinal Pell proclaimed at the opening mass that for these few days the centre of the Church was Sydney. True, one feels that. But it is no less centred in this small group of broken and excluded women who were so happy, so unenvious, to hear news of the euphoric events outside.
I spoke about the prison to someone later. She said she had always had a terror of going inside a prison. I could only say for me it was a grace in paradox: flashes of divine goodness in places the world punitively labels bad and unforgiveable.
Yes, God also manifests in the young and beautiful as well as the broken and unattractive. But faith always scratches below the surface of things. A group of young East Timorese came to meditate in the church and sang for us afterwards. I asked one pilgrim what he did back home and was pulled up by his saying 'nothing'. He stayed at home with his family struggling to put food on the table. He had been forced to give up high school because there was no money for education. All day he was jostling and joking with young people from many countries, sharing a common faith but a very different and unequal lot in life. One church, one faith, one Lord but not yet one world. It is life's contradictions that make judgment so difficult. 'Do not judge,' the Lord said. The same contradictions mean we can never fully believe our own rhetoric or trust our own successes without succumbing to the temptation to power. After all, 'where two or three are gathered in my Name, I am with you,' is really what justifies World Youth Day.
Much love,
Laurence Freeman OSB

On July 2, the Islanders signed free agent Doug Weight to a one-year contract. The deal called for a base salary of $1.75 million, but with bonuses the playmaking center could make up to $4.3 million.
As a player signing a one-year contract past his 35th birthday - he is 37 - Weight was eligible for such a bonus package. The Islanders were happy to give the veteran the incentives for two reasons. For starters, they would be properly rewarding Weight if his offensive statistics rebounded closer to his career averages after a 25-point output in 2007-2008. With 21 points (4-17-21) in his first 21 games this season for the Islanders, the move has paid off for both team and player.
But there was additional strategy behind the Weight incentives package. As a player over age 35 and on a one-year deal, those bonuses counted towards the Islanders' salary cap number. And Weight's deal - along with the signing of Mark Streit to a deal averaging $4.1 million - took the Islanders above the salary cap "floor" as mandated by the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
For the 2008-09 season the NHL salary cap is $56.7 million. A less-heralded fact is that teams must meet a minimum player payroll - the salary cap "floor" - of $40.7 million. While it is unclear to the penny how much the Islanders are currently above the floor, a league source estimated the figure at $2 million.
Since Mike Comrie ('08-09 salary: $4 million) began the season slowly and is now on Injured Reserve while the team gives his surgically-repaired hip more time to heal, the point may be moot. But for fans wondering if the Islanders could trade the No. 2 center for a prospect or a draft pick, the answer is clear.
Even if the Islanders wanted to move Comrie for a pick, they could not right now. In just about any major deal the Islanders make, they will need to bring back approximately equal (or more) dollars in salary than they unload.
[caption id="attachment_3531" align="alignleft" width="160" caption="(Doug Weight: 21 points in 21 games. Good sign.)"]sleep 5[/caption]
As a result, it is highly unlikely Islanders fans will see the departure of any veterans in the next two months - whether rehabbing from injuries (Comrie, Mike Sillinger) or thriving (Weight, Bill Guerin).
The only question that remains is whether one or more of those players is moved closer to the trade deadline. That, of course, will depend on how the players are performing and - just as important, if not more so - where the Islanders are in the Eastern Conference standings.
Make no mistake, the rebuilding Islanders were wise to not Overspend in the offseason. At a surprising-to-some 9-10-2 and in the mix for a playoff berth, if the franchise's biggest problem is staying a dollar over the salary cap floor, they're in good shape. And should the Islanders want to add a significant player instead of deleting one, they are in as good a position as any team in the Eastern Conference.
By the looks of how they and the team are currently playing (5-1 in their last 6), Weight and Guerin aren't going anywhere this season. As for players such as Comrie and Sillinger, time will tell. We do know those moves aren't going to be made anytime soon. Because of the requirement to exceed the salary cap floor, they cannot be.
ETC: Except for players rehabbing injuries, the Islanders were given today off. Expect last night's lineup tomorrow when the Islanders host Sid, Geno and the Penguins on March of Dimes Night at the Coliseum...Doug Weight is now 10 points away from NHL point 1,000.

Australia retained their two-decade grip on the Frank Worrell Trophy when heavy rain meant the second Test against the West Indies petered out into a draw on Thursday.
The disappointing end came just when the home side were cranking up their pursuit of a 215-run victory target at Queen's Park Oval.
Australian skipper Michael Clarke had declared his team's second innings at 160 for eight early in the afternoon, leaving West Indies with a minimum 61 overs to force a result and level the three-game series.
But after reaching 53 for two off 11 overs, the umpires led the teams off as bad light and heavy rain, which had restricted Wednesday's action to just 30.4 overs, returned.
"I think it was going to be a good final day if the rain stayed away," said Clarke, whose team won the first Test in Barbados.
"It was disappointing for both teams and the fans. It's going to be a tough fight in Dominica (where the final Test starts on Monday) because we played inconsistent cricket here."
In an effort to win the game, West Indies captain Darren Sammy switched his batting order, moving Kieran Powell to open and placing himself at number three.
Australian seamer Ben Hilfenhaus soon had the West Indies rocking, trapping Powell lbw for just four in his second over and the decision stood despite another wasted review by the home side.
Sammy, himself, then came to the crease.
However, Hilfenhaus had both openers back in the dressing room just two overs later when he produced a beautiful outswinger that took the edge of Adrian Barath's bat and the catch was taken by Clarke at first slip.
That left West Indies on 13 for two.
Sammy, though, still had his sights firmly set on a win and launched into an attack on Hilfenhaus, striking him for two boundaries and a six over long-off.
He reached 30 not out from 26 balls with his team still needing another 162 runs to win when the weather intervened.
"We were going after the runs. We lost two wickets, but we had Shiv (Chanderpaul) and Narsinh (Deonarine) in the end. We made a positive statement. We looked at it as a one-day scenario," said Sammy.
During the morning the unlucky Fidel Edwards finally took his first wicket of the match in his 10th over of the second innings.
A short ball to Ricky Ponting had him playing one of his favourite hook shots but he failed to keep the ball down.
It went straight to Powell on the square leg boundary and Ponting was gone for 41 off 85 balls, an innings which featured three fours.
The highlight of the morning came in Sammy's second over.
He had dropped a sitter at first slip earlier in the innings but now took an excellent catch off his own bowling to remove his opposite number Clarke.
The delivery seemed to stop a bit off the pitch and Clarke was through the stroke a little early before Sammy thrust out his right hand to take the chance.
Mike Hussey and Matthew Wade took Australia through to lunch at 123 for five with a lead of 177 before the pace was stepped-up after the interval.
West Indies paceman Kemar Roach took two more wickets to give him his second five wicket innings in the match as he finished with 5-41.
He became the first West Indian bowler to take 10 wickets in a match since 2005 and not since 1993 has it been achieved by the home side against Australia.
Before play started, it was announced that Australian fast bowlers Peter Siddle and James Pattinson, who played here, would be returning home with back injuries.
The final Test starts in Dominica on Monday but Australia have two other pacemen in their squad -- Ryan Harris, who played in the first Test and left-armer Mitchell Starc who last played in the Perth Test against India in January.
Second Test ends in a draw
Australia retained their two-decade grip on the Frank Worrell Trophy when heavy rain meant the second Test against the West Indies petered out into a draw on Thursday.

An often small and rather persistent (read: annoying) wasp that flourishes in the summer months and is easily recognized by the yellow portion around its midsection (the "jacket").
Yellowjackets buzzed around the table and ruined the barbecue.
by InspectorJavert March 06, 2005
the wasps that fly around garbage, follow you around and buzz in your face for at least 5 minutes, fly into your car window and make you almost shit yorself, and sting you just for fun because theyre assholes. these fuckers are nasty, and look orange at a distance and hover in circles around wherever they are, and if you get near them, they will fuck with you until you can wave them off without getting stung. they also like flying into peoples houses. fortunately, they are easier to kill than flies, but are still annoying as hell, and can even be scary, especially when youre driving a car, and they fly into your window and start flying around in front of your face or land on your junk, recipies for disaster.
there was a giant wreck tying up traffic on the highway. some dude had his window open. a yellow jacket flew in, and stung the guy in the face, then he slammed into another car, and ther traffic behind them piled up and nailed them.

Johnny Hart's Cartoon Physics
It looks like he could have been influenced by Roadrunner cartoons.
His drawings have a lot of tension and feeling in them too. Each drawing contains a lot of complex information. ...and the continuity of the successive drawings is brilliant. He only has a small number of panels to describe a lot of action. Making the decisions of what parts in between the action you can leave out and still get the idea and gag across is very brain-intensive. I have trouble with that. I want to show every tiny fraction of action in my continuity and it tends to drag out the cartoons longer than necessary.
On the other hand, Hart is one of my biggest influences and largely sub-consciously. My storyboard scribble style is much like his finished drawing style. Fast and just what is essential, without worrying about making a perfectly polished drawing.
This is how I see the function of storyboards-to convey the continuity and essential part of the gag, feelings and story.
What's really hard is hanging on to these essentials from department to department in an animation studio, where the successive polishers smooth out the finish, but sand down the guts.
Look how much information and feeling is packed in that middle panel of the Dinosaur smashing into the tree. You see the impact as the main action. The tree is being ripped out by the roots as a secondary action and the roots are dragging in the opposite direction of the tree. On top of that, all the dirt is flying off the roots. The leaves are being smashed against the top of the tree in heavy bunches and a few individual leaves for texture.
Then the tree impact is causing Peter to fly out of the leaves on a raft (why does he have a raft in a tree?)
Hart is conveying pacing in still drawings, without the luxury of animation and real time. Very impressive.
You have to be a very good editor to draw powerful comic strips like this.

These B.C. strips are loads of fun to look at. The caveman that is testing his new "suspension system" for his wheel is my favourite from the bunch.
Thank you for sharing these gems, John.
From an aspiring animator/ cartoonist.

I... can't believe I've never seen these before. These gags are hilarious. That bit where he's spun around the tree and pogo'd by the rock is absolutely brilliant.
- Tim Nguyen said...
I don't think that is a raft, more like a bed. The character mentions weightlessness which could refer to the feeling of being weightless when going to or during sleep. And he's sleeping in a tree because it'll keep him safe from the predators out there. In dunno, just my thoughts on it--but that would be me thinking too much to make things seem rational.
Anyway, I like this post and the cartoon work presented. Definitely will be a great influence indeed. Great stuff and keep it up!
- Chris_Garrison said...
I think the "raft" was just a platform he'd built in the tree, a rudimentary tree house he'd been lying in.
... I'm sure glad the blog is back!! (Is it?) I was really sad and mad.

I think this is a skill that's been lost. It's kind of like a visual haiku. Cartoonists used to have a dialogue with their audience, and they could anticipate them to have the ability to fill in the blanks. So, they didn't have to spell everything out.
Thanks very much for bringing the blog back!!
- Severin said...
B.C. was my favorite strip as a kid. My dad had a bunch of them, including "B.C. on the Rocks," stored in boxes left over from his childhood, along with Sad Sack and a bunch of Warner, Harvey, and Gold Key comics. I'll try and scan them some time, but they're in pretty bad shape.
- sunny kharbanda said...
I love the gags in these old B.C. strips. I never realized the economy in the number of drawings till you pointed them out. Great stuff!
Are you still looking at Preston Blair lessons, John? In case you are, here are some overlays from lesson 3.

Wow these are great. So good that I've ordered the book from Amazon....it's only about £3 :D
- Kelseigh said...
I was a HUGE fan of BC when I was a kid, and I've still got most of those old paperbacks. I remember the raft incident clearly, it followed a series of strips where he was lying on a raft in a river, and shot at high speed off the top of a waterfall, ending up in the tree. If I remember right, he decided to stay up there, but I forget the reason now.
It had never occurred to me to look at Hart's early stuff as storyboards, but it's an inspired thought. Now that I'm getting into the field myself, I'm going to dig out those old books with a new eye.
- Amanda H. said...
The only think I really like about B.C. is the sound effects and the action. Sometimes the puns are eye-rolling bad.
- Dan C said...
I used to love BC as a kid. I remember trying to copy the cartoons, trying to figure out what made them funny and fun to look at. I couldn't understand a lot of the gags but that didn't stop me repeating them, to my friends' confusion.

County Courthouse
Town or City Clerks have birth, marriage and death records.
The Clerk of the Superior Court has divorce and court records.
Belknap County was established in 1841 --- the Probate Judge has probate records from 1841.
The Register of Deeds has land records from 1841.[1]
The area that is now Belknap County was up to 1841 part of Strafford and Merrimack counties. Thus if you are looking for ancestors in this area before 1841 you may want to try deeds, probate records, court records, etc. of Strafford County and Merrimack County. Please see the wiki articles about those two counties.
Towns Organized before 1800:
Alton 1796
Barnstead 1727
Centre Harbor 1797
Gilmanton 1727
Meredith 1768
New Hampton 1777
Sanbornton 1770
- Named for Dr. Jeremy Belknap, a renowned preacher, historian, and author of The History of New Hampshire.
Parent County
The area that is now Belknap County was up to 1841 primarily part of Strafford County, posssibly part of Merrimack County. Thus if you are looking for ancestors in this area before 1841 you may want to try deeds, probate records, court records, etc. of Strafford Couonty. Please see the wiki article about Strafford County. Belknap County was created 22 December 1840 from Strafford County. [1]
Note: The book Redbook: American State, County, and Town Sources, edited by Alice Eichholz, published in 2004, page 436, states that Belknap County was created from Strafford and Merrimack counties. Was part of what is now Tilton in Merrimack County? We will need to consult old maps to find out. The rest of Belknap County surely seems to have been taken from Strafford County.
Boundary Changes
Before 1841 the Belknap County area was part of Strafford County.
Record Loss
One record source that would be helpful, but was destroyed, is the 1890 census. There was a fire in Washington, D. C. in 1921 which badly damaged the records. None of the New Hampshire population records remain. The 1890 census veterans' lists were kept in a different building and were saved. They are available on microfilms and at www.ancestry.com. You can search for veterans' or widows' names.

If you know the name of the town or city, and the denomination, you may wish to contact the historical societies in the towns where your ancestors lived. They may have volunteers who can send you the names and addresses of churches of that denomination for the town.
Or, if you know the town of residence and the ancestor's denomination, see the Church Records section in the general information in the New Hampshire wiki article. That section lists archives and other record keepers for the various religious denominations.
If you do not know the denomination, search for a marriage record. This may give the name of the minister. Then you can contact a historical society and learn at which church he was the minister. Also search for an obituary, which may mention the church the person attended. The death certificate may list the name of the cemetery. You can then write to the cemetery and ask if it is affiliated with a local church. The death certificate may mention the funeral home. Their file may have the name of the church, cemetery, or a copy of the obituary. Also, relatives might know the denomination. You can also search for a marriage announcement in the local newspaper.
Different churches contain a variety of types of records. Many churches keep baptism, marriage, and burial records. Sometimes birth and death information is included. The church records of brothers and sisters, etc. may give clues.

A warrior from Ireland who saved the British from the British by defeating the British. He is known to be a legendary hero of lore with devilishly good looks and stature. It was rumored he would throw a series of lightning bolts at his enemies. His heirs have been told to have started in Ireland and have moved to modern day Canada and now reside in America. His mystery is one that will never be solved. His battle cry can only be translated into the modern words of, "It's a trap". One popular story of his legend involves him creating the original pancake from a potato and a rice cake. He was the last wielder of "Calruck" the Broad Sword that dealt the last blow of every war he took part in.

Despite the heat, voters in Framingham are casting their ballots in today's U.S. Senate race at a good clip.
Despite the heat, voters in Framingham are casting their ballots in today's U.S. Senate race at a good clip.
"It's a wonderful turnout - surprisingly so because we were expecting a low turnout," Precinct 8 warden Eleanor Crawford said this morning at McCarthy Elementary School.
Crawford said voters were even waiting at the door for the polling place to open at 7 a.m.
Voter Peter Gross said he voted for U.S. Rep. Edward Markey, a Democrat whose congressional district includes Framingham.
"I run pretty liberal so it was an easy decision," Gross said.
Another voter, Carl Lind, said he also voted to send Markey to the Senate to take John Kerry's former seat: "He has experience. Experience can do a lot."
Republican candidate Gabriel Gomez earned Bob Briggs' vote.
"He's a veteran, I'm a veteran," the 74-year-old said.
Carol Jensen said she was undecided until she watched Gomez's TV ad that asks "Mr. Markey" what he has accomplished in 37 years on Capitol Hill."He has a point," said Jensen, who voted with her husband, Charles.
She said she usually votes Democrat - "for the people," as her dad taught her."I did switch and I went for Gomez," she said. "It is time for a change. Things need to change."

CANCERactive is Britain´s Number 1 Complementary and Integrative cancer charity - some people call us an Holistic or Integrated Cancer Charity (and even cancer active!). We are Britain´s leaders in Integrative Oncology.
Empowering people to make better personal choices
Our mission is to EMPOWER people to increase their personal odds of beating cancer; to be able to take more control over their own lives and their own treatment and to make more informed, personal choices about their cancer treatment options. We do this by providing ALL the information, not just on orthodox cancer treatments, but on complementary and integrative cancer therapies too. We aim to do this in an objective, balanced way and we take absolutely no money from any provider of any treatment. Hence you can trust CANCERactive to tell the Truth, the whole Truth and nothing but the Truth.
Go to: Comprehensive Integrative Cancer information and the CANCERactive website map
We believe cancer can be cured or at least held in remission today (CLICK HERE), but that it is naive to believe one single ´treatment´ - drug, vitamin, alternative therapy, whatever - could cure a cancer on its own (CLICK HERE). We believe that the best way forward for people touched by cancer is to build tailored Complementary and Integrative Medicine (CIM) ´programmes´, to raise their personal odds of survival to levels significantly above the norm - by using the best of the best (CLICK HERE).
The Cancer magazine on the web
You will find this website different - we are a cancer magazine on the web. Virtually everything published here first appeared in icon magazine (Integrative Cancer and Oncology News) so was available free in over 640 cancer centres, hospitals and health information libraries in the UK. The whole of Britain´s Medical Profession have been able to vet every article!
Patient Testimonials and comment
"As a GP with breast cancer, I would like to pass on my thanks for the excellent resources you are providing at CANCERactive. I discovered your website and icon magazine 6 months into my diagnosis, and wish I had known about it sooner. Your magazine and website is the only reliable resource of its kind in the UK, and is so badly needed. I would highly recommend you to anyone with cancer." (Letter of the month. To read more CLICK HERE).
Over a hundred cancer experts, oncologists and doctors have contributed articles to this site. There is also a Medical Board including Professors and Doctors specialising in oncology to handle comments. Every penny we raise goes to providing information to help people beat cancer, but then our Trustees and our management take no remuneration for the work they do. How many cancer charities can say that?
No Vested Interests
CANCERactive does not receive funds directly or indirectly from large corporations such as pharmaceutical companies, nor from any owner of a treatment appearing on this website, and so this site is truly independent with no vested interests and based on the research that is available, interpreted in a balanced way. Our mission is to tell the Truth about cancer and its treatments. Once a charity starts being funded by treatment providers, not surprisingly, questions immediately arise about its objectivity.
The Patients´ Champion
And so you will find this website often provides research and evidence-based views that often question the accuracy or wisdom of the orthodox medical status quo, even ´exposing´ some of the self-perpetuating myths. We don´t do this for any other reason than having the patients´ best interests at heart. In the UK, we are repeatedly told we are the ´Patients´ Champion´.
Look also for our new CANCERactive patient group website - go to the cancer chat room, post a question, enter a discussion, tell your story. It´s the ultimate support group!

A note of caution
We believe this site, because it is so comprehensive, offers you just about everything you need to know to help you beat cancer!
We are an information-only site presenting you with information that is already available in the public domain; we do not give advice even though our patrons and advisors number Professors, Doctors and experts in many fields. The provision of information on the website does not constitute our recommendation or endorsement of that information or its provider.
At the heart of this website is Cancer Watch covering research from the very top cancer centres all over the world. We use its information in every article we write.
Whilst we pride ourselves on being evidence-based, we have to rely on the quality and presentation of the research. You may be aware, for example, of several drugs where the original research was not presented accurately, side-effects ignored and so on, eventually leading to the withdrawal of those drugs several years later.
Clearly then we are reliant on the research expertise and honesty of others. Cancer is a serious disease. Over 9,000 people come to this website a day for a vast array of reasons and with very different personal needs. Readers must consult with experts and specialists in the appropriate medical field before taking, or refraining from taking, action. Visitors to this site should always seek specialist medical advice and notify that specialist of any actions they propose to take as a result of reading this site. The Trustees, Patrons, writers or contributors to this site are not liable for the consequences of any action, or lack of action, that is taken by the readers as a result of information contained anywhere in this site. Such action is taken entirely at the reader´s own risk. Please do not read on if you do not accept this position.
It is only responsible of us to tell you to consult your personal medical advisor at all times. We would also add that if you feel we have detailed something incorrectly and/or you can provide hard research evidence that would lead to other conclusions, we will be happy to make the appropriate changes.
CANCERactive. Intelligent Information. Independent Voice.
Have you read that supplements like vitamin E or beta-carotene might be more trouble than they are worth? Are you taking cheap, common high street, synthetic supplements or premium-priced, naturally-sourced bioactive supplements?
Are you simply confused about what to take?
At CANCERactive we have a clear view that naturally-sourced supplements are considerably safer and more bioactively potent than synthetic alternatives and you will find the research evidence on this site in many places.
It is not our aim at CANCERactive to endorse, advertise or promote any brand, any supplier or any manufacturer of any treatment be it a drug, a radiotherapy company or a supplement supplier. At CANCERactive we also do not aim to ´sell´ any treatment. We provide balanced information to help you more easily find things - be it a location for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, or HIFU; or a hospital or private cancer clinic.
Importantly, unlike other mainstream charities, we receive no funding whatsoever from any supplier of possible cancer treatments.

CANCERactive is a charity set up to provide cancer information and support - no more, no less - not just on orthodox therapies but on prevention, complementary and alternative treatments too. That information centres on Cancer Watch which records research studies from around the world. It is not CANCERactive´s aim or purpose to provide advice about or treatments for cancer and as such nothing published by CANCERactive should be interpreted as advice or a recommendation for the treatment of, or cure for cancer or any of its symptoms. Cancer is a serious illness and people should always seek specialist medical advice. In particular, cancer patients should inform their doctor before using, or refraining from using, any non-orthodox treatments. CANCERactive has a very clear stance that there is currently no single treatment, in our opinion (drug, vitamin, orthodox or other therapy), that is a ´cure´ for cancer.
CANCERactive - leading the way in Integrative Oncology.
It's the future of cancer treatment.
Our icon magazine is available free in over 500 UK hospitals, cancer centres and libraries. Full of great articles and the very latest cancer information, you can have it sent to your own home.
