Grace, Thanks for that great site for NY! I also like the idea of emailing the mayor of the city of New Haven, John DeStefano Jr. As far as some sites for online research, try using the search engine Google.com, using something like genealogy, New Haven, CT and see what comes up. Here is the New Haven 1790 census : http://www.altlaw.com/edball/nhav1667.txt http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ct/state/ http://www.geocities.com/TheTropics/1926/newhaven.html There are many others if you use Google.com with the subject mentioned above. I was up to Ct last summer and had wonderful response from Fairfield historians. Not the same experience in New Haven, however. Dianne
