Colonial A reconstructed census of over 2,300 heads of families recorded in tax lists and other records is Jay Mack Holbrook, Connecticut 1670 Census (Oxford, Massachusetts:
Holbrook Research Institute, 1977; FHL book 974.6 X2h 1670).

CHURCH RECORDS

The Congregational Church was predominant in early Connecticut and was the state church until 1818. Other prominent churches in the state are the Methodist and Episcopal churches (colonial period), and the Roman Catholic and Baptist churches (19th century). More than 600 churches have deposited their records with the Connecticut State Library. Most of these records are on microfilm at the Family History Library. Some of these records are indexed in a card index prepared by the Connecticut State Library. This index was microfilmed in 1949 (FHL films 0002806-74). A useful guide to this collection is List of Church Records in the Connecticut State Library (Hartford: Connecticut State Library, 1976; FHL book 974.6 A1 no. 14; film 1033856 item 9). To learn about church records existing in 1942, see Guide to Vital Statistics in the Church Records of Connecticut (New Haven, Connecticut: Connecticut Historical Records Survey, 1942; FHL book 974.6 K23g; film 924002 item 2; fiche 6051300). The Family History Library has an extensive microfilm collection of records of the Baptist, Congregational, Episcopal, Methodist, and Methodist Episcopal churches. Published histories are available for denominations such as Episcopal, Roman Catholic, Latter-day Saint (Mormon), and Universalist. Many denominations have collected their records into central repositories. You can write to the following addresses to learn where their records are located.

COURT RECORDS

Major Connecticut courts that kept records of genealogical value were established as follows: 1636-1784 General Court (General Assembly after 1637) was the highest state court throughout the colonial era. It handled many criminal and civil cases. After 1750 it

1630s-1961

1638-1711

relinquished most of its judicial responsibilities. Many of the General Assembly records were published in The Public Records of The Colony of Connecticut (1636-1776), 15 vols. (Hartford, Conn.: Case, Lockwood & Brainard Co., 1850-1890; FHL book 974.6 N2c; films 908423-30; fiche 6051120). This is listed in the Family History Library Catalog under CONNECTICUT - PUBLIC RECORDS. Town and borough courts had jurisdiction over civil matters in towns. Justice of the peace courts (1686-1961) handled similar matters in areas without a town court. Many of these records are at the Connecticut State Library. These courts were succeeded by circuit courts. Particular Court was the primary court of jurisdiction for all matters of law, including appeals from town courts. This was succeeded by the Court of Assistants (1665-1711). The published records of this court are in the Public Records of the Colony of Connecticut (described above). County courts had jurisdiction over civil disputes and minor criminal cases as well as chancery and divorce matters. From 1855-1870 this court's duties were taken over by the town and justice courts and the Superior Court. Superior Court replaced the Court of Assistants and holds countywide sessions as the principal trial court for major civil and criminal cases. Courts of common pleas replaced county courts and were reorganized in 1975 to include the circuit court.
The Family History Library has microfilm copies of a few Connecticut court records. Many remain in the various court offices. The major repository for the records listed above is the Connecticut State Library. A guide to their court record holdings is Records of the Judicial Department (Part A): Court Records in the Connecticut State Library, 1636-1945, revised, unpublished inventory (Hartford: Connecticut State Library, 1977; not available at Family History Library). For more information concerning Connecticut court records, see the Guide to Archives in the Connecticut State Library (see the Archives and Libraries section of this outline). Also see Dwight Loomis and Joseph Gilbert Calhoun, Judicial and Civil History of Connecticut (Boston: Boston History Co., 1895; not available at Family History Library).

DIRECTORIES

The Connecticut State Library, New Haven Historical Society, New England Historic Genealogical Society, the Library of Congress, and the American Antiquarian Society have useful collections of city directories. The Family History Library has directories of major cities in Connecticut. Two examples of the library's holdings are:

EMIGRATION AND IMMIGRATION
People Colonial settlers of Connecticut generally came from Great Britain and neighboring New England states. Descendants of these early settlers later scattered throughout northern New England, upstate New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Texas. Many Irish and German immigrants began coming in the late 1840s. French-Canadian immigration began after the Civil War and continued through the rest of the nineteenth century. Late in the century most immigrants came from the southern and eastern countries of Europe, including Italy, Hungary, Poland, and Russia.
The Records The major port of entry to New England is Boston. The Family History Library and the National Archives have passenger lists for Boston for 1820 to March 1874 and 1883 to 1935 (listed in the Family History Library Catalog under MASSACHUSETTS, SUFFOLK, BOSTON - EMIGRATION AND IMMIGRATION). The following indexes are also available:
1820-1874. These years are indexed in the Supplemental Index. Atlantic and Gulf Coast Ports. (listed in the Family History Library Catalog under UNITED STATES - EMIGRATION AND IMMIGRATION - INDEXES). 1848-1891, 1902-1906, 1906-1920, and book indexes 1899-1940 (listed in the Family History Library Catalog under MASSACHUSETTS, SUFFOLK, BOSTON - EMIGRATION AND IMMIGRATION).
The Massachusetts State Archives also has Boston passenger lists for 1848 to 1874 and 1883 to 1891. This includes records for the nine years missing from the National Archives records. The 1848 to 1891 index (above) is an index to the state lists but can also be used for the National Archives records. Incomplete 19th century passenger lists for Bridgeport, 1870 (FHL film 830231), Fairfield, 1820 to 1821 (FHL film 830232), Hartford, 1837 (830234), New Haven, 1820 to 1873 (FHL film 830235), New London, 1820 to 1847 (FHL film 830236), and Saybrook, 1820 (FHL film 830246) are available at the Family History Library and the National Archives. These are found in Copies of Lists of Passengers Arriving at Miscellaneous Ports. Atlantic and Gulf Coasts. listed in the Family History Library Catalog under UNITED STATES - EMIGRATION AND IMMIGRATION. For indexes to these lists, see Supplemental Index to Passenger Lists. Atlantic and Gulf Coast Ports. listed in the Family History Library Catalog under UNITED STATES EMIGRATION AND IMMIGRATION - INDEXES. Also consult passenger lists of other New England ports and for ports in Canada. Records of Canadian border entries from 1895 to 1954 are on 937 films at the Family History Library (beginning with FHL films 1472801). These are listed in the Family History Library Catalog under UNITED STATES - EMIGRATION AND IMMIGRATION. Names of colonial immigrants listed in published sources are indexed in P. William Filby, Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 15 vols. (Detroit: Gale Research, 1981-; FHL book 973 W32p). The first three volumes are a combined alphabetical index published in 1981. Supplemental volumes and cumulative indexes have been published. More detailed information on U.S. immigration sources is in the United States Research Outline. Records and books on ethnic groups, such as African-Americans, French-Canadians, Jews, and Swedes are listed in the Family History Library Catalog under CONNECTICUT - MINORITIES.

The following important events in the history of Connecticut affected political jurisdictions, family movements, and record keeping: 1633-1662 Puritans from Massachusetts established settlements on the Connecticut River at Windsor, Wethersfield, and Hartford. The New Haven colony was established. New London was founded soon after. A British royal charter established Connecticut as a colony separate from Massachusetts.

1786-1800

1788 1840s 1861-1865
By this date all of present-day Connecticut had been settled and organized into incorporated towns, the basic governing units. Connecticut relinquished its claims to western lands, except for the Wyoming Valley in Pennsylvania which Connecticut claimed until 1799, and the Western Reserve in Ohio which it claimed until 1800. Connecticut settlers remained in both areas. Connecticut ratified the Constitution to become a state. As the factory system developed, thousands of foreign laborers began moving into Connecticut. Connecticut furnished 60,000 troops to the Union Army during the Civil War.
In addition to the sources mentioned in the For Further Reading section, an especially helpful source for studying the history of Connecticut is Charles W. Burpee's, Burpee's The Story of Connecticut, 4 vols. (New York: American Historical Co., 1939; FHL book 974.6 H2b). LAND AND PROPERTY
Land in colonial Connecticut was granted by the Connecticut General Court. Most of these grants were to proprietors. Proprietors' records are at the Connecticut State Archives or at the town halls. Later deeds, mortgages, releases, and other related documents were recorded by the town clerk and are at the town halls. Most are indexed by grantor and grantee. There is no statewide index. The Family History Library and the Connecticut State Library have microfilm copies of many proprietors' and town records from the earliest years to the mid or late 1800s. Some are as recent as the 1900s. They are listed in the Family History Library Catalog under the name of the town. From Hartford, for example, the library has 117 microfilms of proprietors' records (1639-1753), deeds (1678-1901), and general indexes (1639-1865).
The Connecticut State Library, Connecticut Historical Society, Yale University, and Wesleyan University have major map collections. The Family History Library has Connecticut maps for 1790, 1810, 1823, 1838, 1850, 1862, 1878, 1884 and 1917. The library also has Hartford and New Haven city ward maps dating from 1850 to 1899 (FHL film 1377700; Hartford fiche 6016650-54, New Haven 6016688-94).

NEWSPAPERS

Marriage and death notices published in Connecticut newspapers for the period 1796 to 1865 have been indexed in the Charles R. Hale Collection, described in the Cemeteries section of this outline (FHL film 003076-398). The Hartford Times published a genealogical queries section at various times from 1901 to 1967. Indexes to surnames and copies of clippings for some years are at the Family History Library (on 9 FHL films beginning with 1421780). This is listed in the Family History Library Catalog under CONNECTICUT - GENEALOGY. PERIODICALS
The major periodicals and magazines helpful for Connecticut research are: The American Genealogist. 1939-. Published by David L. Greene, P.O. Box 398, Demorest, GA 30535-0398. (FHL book 973 B25aga.) Connecticut Ancestry (formerly: Stamford Genealogical Society Bulletin). 1958-. Published by Stamford Genealogical Society, P.O. Box 249, Stamford, CT 06904-0249. (FHL book 974.6 B2s.)

(FHL book 974 B2ne.) The book has cumulative indexes to 1994. PROBATE RECORDS
Probate records in Connecticut are kept by probate district courts. In many cases a probate district consisted of a larger community and several nearby smaller towns. Sometimes a probate district crossed county boundaries. The Connecticut Researcher's Handbook describes each district (see the For Further Reading section of this outline). The Connecticut State Library has numerous files of wills, bonds, letters, and other probate documents. The Family History Library has most of the pre-1880 packets arranged by district and then by surname on 1,622 microfilms. These packets can include

wills, codicils, bonds, applications and petitions, inventories, court orders, court returns, distributions, accounts of administration, receipts, and miscellaneous probate records. The districts are listed in the Family History Library Catalog under CONNECTICUT - PROBATE RECORDS. The Connecticut State Library's index to these records for 1641 to 1948 is also at the Family History Library (FHL films 166000-66). This is listed in the Family History Library Catalog under CONNECTICUT - PROBATE RECORDS - INDEXES. You can obtain copies of other records from the local probate district offices. Many of the records of these local offices have also been microfilmed and are at the Family History Library. These are listed in the Family History Library Catalog under CONNECTICUT, [COUNTY], [TOWN], - PROBATE RECORDS. From the Hartford District, for example, the library has records for the years 1649 to 1917 on 52 microfilms. Other published records are in The Public Records of the Colony of Connecticut (see the Public Records section of this outline). PUBLIC RECORDS
Many early General Assembly acts, petitions, Council of Safety journals, and other documents relating to probates, land grants, and military service are in: The Public Records of the Colony of Connecticut (1636-1776). 15 vols. Hartford: Case, Lockwood & Brainard Co., 1850-90. (FHL book 974.6 N2c; films 908423-29; fiche 6051120.) The Public Records of the State of Connecticut 1776-1792. 7 vols. Hartford: Lockwood & Brainard, 1894-1948. (FHL books 974.6 N2ct vols. 1-3; film 944114-15 vols. 1-7.)

TAXATION

The Family History Library has some tax records for the state. These are included in the town records (see the Town Records section of this outline). Also see Holbrook's Connecticut 1670 Census (described in the Census section of this outline).

TOWN RECORDS

In New England the town clerk is the principal record keeper on the local level. The earliest records are called proprietors' records. Town records may contain births, marriages, deaths, burials, cemetery records, appointments, earmarks, estrays (stray animals), freemens' oaths (men eligible to vote), land records, mortgages, name changes, care of the poor, school records, surveys, tax lists, town meeting minutes, voter registrations, and warning outs (of town). Town records generally begin with the founding of the town and are kept to the present. Many of the original town records are in the town clerks' offices. Some are at the Connecticut State Library. An excellent inventory of Connecticut local records is Nelson P. Mead, Public Archives of Connecticut: County, Probate, and Local Records, in Annual Report of the American Historical Association for the Year 1906, vol. 2, pp. 53127 (Washington, D.C.: Government Printing Office, 1908; FHL book 973 C4ah; film 896557). The Family History Library has microfilms of many Connecticut town records from the creation of the town to the early 1920s. VITAL RECORDS
