The product of a 10-year examination of Connecticut vital records, this book identifies the original sources of the millions of early Connecticut vital records abstracted in the Barbour Index. It names hundreds of books, manuscripts, and articles not referenced by Barbour, and points the researcher to thousands of additional sources for early Connecticut births, deaths, and marriages. "Finding Early Connecticut Vital Records" is, in fact, a complete inventory of Connecticut vital records, and no collection can be complete without it.
