5 Connecticut Research Tips from D. Joshua Taylor
Posted by Diane
D. Joshua Taylor, the New England genealogy expert who delivered
genealogy news to several famous folks on NBC's "Who Do You think You
Are?" is hard at work putting together the Connecticut
Genealogy Crash Course webinar he'll present next Thursday,
Sept. 27, at 7 p.m. Eastern Time.
Josh shares these Connecticut research tips, which he'll expand on
in the Connecticut
Genealogy Crash Course:
- Many of the common resources for Connecticut research have
been published, transcribed, retranscribed, and republished in
various formats, so always look for the original source of the
information. In the webinar, we'll discuss key
resources for tracing Connecticut families, including the Barbour and Hale records
collections, which require a bit of sleuthing to use
effectively.
- Connecticut keeps probate records by districts, rather than by
counties or towns. But there's a quick way to search all of
Connecticut's probate records through one central source! Tune
in to the webinar to learn how.
- Connecticut's shared borders can cause dilemmas for
genealogists. We'll talk briefly about the complexities
surrounding the western border with New York and ideas for
tracing Connecticut families who might've spent time in and around Dutchess
County, NY.
- Subscribe to the Connecticut
Society of Genealogists' quarterly The
Connecticut Nutmegger. It'll keep you up to date on
Connecticut resources and provide book reviews, record abstracts
and other guidance.
- If you have a chance, visit the Connecticut State Library. Although many of its resources are on microfilm (much of it
available through interlibrary loan or from the Family History
Library), there's nothing like researching
on-site and using resources in the original formats.
