Unfortunately, Connecticut can be a very difficult state to access for certificates. The last I heard, one had to go through the Connecticut Genealogical Society who would assign a member to get the certificate(s). The cost was $25.00 an hour plus expenses, including the certificate.

Posted on: Fairfield Co. Ct Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Ct/Fairfield/3137 Surname: ROGERS, FLINT, WARREN, GREEN, DAVIS ------------------------- my WARREN ancestor was Cynthia WARREN daughter of Nathaniel WARREN & Jemima FULLER. born. 18 Sept 1763 in Sharon, CT m. Ephraim FLINT. they lived in Allegany Co., NY where she died 4 March 1831. She is buried in Windus Bridge Cemetery and had a brother named Nathaniel and he is buried there also (NY). I believe they were members of the Seventh Day Baptist Church. I know the Flints and Rogers were as well as my DAVIS and GREEN lines.

Hi, I wrote to the City of Bridgeport, each town is different. I wrote on 9/26/00 asking for Birth records for my ggmother, and gggmother's. I sent the dates, names, and they responded on October 24, 2000. They returned my check, after not being able to find the records. They said the oldest birth record was made in the year 1847, death was 1885, and marriage is 1883. So, one was not listed, and they did a five years search for the one that I thought was in 1863, and came up with nothing. I have some Monroe records, and they start at 1848. You are better off requesting records from the town or city first. Records are $5.00, and you have to send a copy of your driver's license, copy of your birth record, full name and date, and the parents names if possible and a self addressed, stamped envelope.

I am looking for the parents of Peter Clemens and Susanna Mitchel, they were married in Stratford in 1791, their son is Charles Wright Clemens who married Abigail Munson. Abigail died in 1862, some have said she is the daughter of William Munson and Sarah Beardsley. Charles and Abigail are the parents of Harriet A. Clemens, born 1827 in Huntington, married to Henry Thompson. Abigail's first husband was Charles Lewis Mitchel, their children were Mary, Almiar and William Michel.

I know, I tried to do the research myself and they told me I couldnt, they gave me the name of a man who would look up info for me, I contacted him, paid him 25$ in advance, believe it or not he died the next week and I never got anything but an e-mail from his son saying he passed away.

I, too, am interested in the McKenzie name. One of my ancestors married a Dr. Edward H. McKenzie in Bovina, Delaware County, NY in the 11840s. I do not know when, where or to whom Edward was born, but believe he could have been from Greenwich, CT since the Fullers to whom he was married were from that town. If you can help me place my Edward McKenzie I would appreciate your help. Thank you, Forrest L.

Posted on: Fairfield Co. Ct Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ct/Fairfield/3131 Surname: Fuller, Purdy ------------------------- My GGG Grandfather, Elihu Fuller, is believed to have been born in Greenwich, Fairfield County, about 1770. In 1792 he married Eliza Purdy, daughter of Jesse Purdy, also born in Greenwich about 1748. Some time before the Revolution they apparently moved to Fishkill, Dutchess County, NY where they were married and made a family. I am searching for the parents of Elihu Fuller. I would like to learn when, where, and to whom he was born. It is believed he was in the line of John Fuller. I appreciate any help on this search I can get. Thank you, Forrest L.

Looking for info about Alex Schnorr, who died in Stamford, Fairfield, CT at ae 75y Oct. 16, 1953. Death record states he was born Sept. 10, 1878, leather inspector (Ret.), at a Chemical Plant.

Subj: Annie Valentine nee McCloskey Date: 11/23/00 11:01:50 PM Eastern Standard Time From: NJVSr To: CTFAIRFI-L@rootsweb.com I am seeking help with the following. As I cannot seem to find my Great Grandparents through my Grandfathers records (CHARLES EDWARD VALENTINE b. Brooklyn 1856) I will attempt to find something on the family of my Grandmother, ANNIE VALENTINE (McCLOSKEY) per her Death Certificate, was b. 1852,"England" (I understand "England" to the census taker might include, Ireland & Scotland) My grandparents, he a "Hatter", lived in Norwalk, Fairfield Co, CT, from about 1880 until their deaths in 1910 and 1918. Norwalk has no record of their marriage, possibly they were married in Brooklyn or elsewhere in CT. While living in Norwalk, Fairfield Co. CT. they had seven children. One, Catherine Valentine, stepped on a fallen electric wire and was killed on her 16th or 17th birthday" (about 1896/97) According to the 1880 census and "soundex card" she was 11 months old so I assume she was born in 1879/80 There are only three of my cousins left and they know nothing of the family history. I have been told that Annie Valentine - Nee McCloskey, had "a mother & two sisters, one of which was a "Whistler", two brothers, one had been a prize fighter called something like "Battling McCloskey" or "Knock `em down" McCloskey" and may have moved to Mt. Kisco, NY. The other brother "moved to Philadelphia and started a construction company" I have Obits and death certificates of my grandparents but their parents are recorded as "Unknown"

I have a Thomas OConnor b. abt. 1814 married to Julia Bouton abt. 1840 , they had several children: Daniel, Thomas, David, Mary, Eugene, Sarah, Louisa b. 9-26-1855 in stratford. Louisa was married on 10-4-1873 in Bridgeport to Jed. Backman. I would like to know if there are any records of this family at all, census, births, deaths anything. thanks Gary
