What would be the best bet to get a copy of his death record? North Stonington Clerk or the CT Archives? Charlie: Your best bet is to first, call the N. Stonington Town Clerk: 860-535-2877, ask for their procedures. Records are still $5. No, you won't need your CSG card for a death record. You'll likely get the record faster from the clerk than from CT Archives. Deb
