Hi List, I just read an interesting article in my local paper. This is a source I had never considered for family research! In Washington Depot, the Town Clerk found some old records in the vault. Among them, a registry for dogs dated 1870-72. If you are interested in reading my note to the Litchfield County list, here is the link to the archive: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/CTLITCHF/2004-04/1081418967 There must be other towns who have this kind of treasure buried in their vaults. . . . Has anyone else come across interesting records like this in Fairfield County? Best, Hope Hope Kenney CTFAIRFI List Admin [email protected]
