The online index of recorded instruments for Coos County starts in 1977. Anything recorded before that is on paper, at the courthouse, and nowhere else.

New Hampshire's ten county registries share one informational site but each runs its own separate search - there is no cross-county name search. The free tier in Coos is index only: you can see that an instrument exists and not read it without paying. That configuration varies by county on the same platform, so Coos is not a guide to Grafton.
The office named above will answer a specific question on the phone, and the most useful one you can ask is what year their online index actually starts. It is a one-line answer and it tells you how much of the chain of title you can read from a desk. Everything older than that year exists, it is simply not online - so an empty search result is not evidence that nothing was recorded.
We run a free screen on any parcel in the United States: the flood zone, wetlands, the survey grid, which county and township you are actually in, who manages the land around it, and what was recorded there before. Every line names the record it came from. No charge, no account.
