Danbury has an excellent library section on genealogy. They have the directories you will need to research but call or contact the town clerk of Newtown as ask where they were published. Even though Danbury is close to Newtown the City Directories could have been published in a different town. I am dealing with Sherman, New Fairfield and Norwalk. I have found by making a few phone calls that people in Connecticut are very helpful. Also try the Family History Center and website www.familysearch.org. There will be a listing of all City Directories of Newtown, I remember using these microfilms.
