Randall, You probably want to see The Hale Collection The Hale Collection contains cemetery inscriptions for the state of CT from the 1600s to 1934, collected by the WPA . It also contains marriage and death records. Further information on the Hale Collection can be found here http://www.cslib.org/halecol.htm Sally Cox advice on the Hale Collection (from a CTNEWLON-L message): You can access the information on the Hale Collection in its entirety (some 360 microfilm) by going to the Family History Library Catalog at: http://www.familysearch.org/Search/searchcatalog.asp Then follow these steps: 1) Select "Place Search" 2) Enter "Connecticut" in the "Place" box. Select "Search". 3) Click on "Connecticut" in the "Place Search Results" box. 4) Click on "Connecticut-Cemeteries". 5) Scroll down the list and click on "Hale Collecton, Hale, Charles, R". 6) Click on the grey "View Film Notes" box in the upper right hand corner. This will give you the first 20 microfilm numbers for the Hale index, plus the rest of the collection (in groups of 20) at the bottom. ----- Original Message ----- From: "wrandall" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2005 11:35 AM Subject: [GenCT] Ancientist Cemetery at New London > > > Dear Listers, > > > > In researching my Comstock and Elderkin families, I checked Google > > (among others) and found some family members were buried in the : > > > > Ancientist Cemetery, 1st Congregational Church at New London, > > Connecticut Colony > > > > I have not been able to open the .pap file, so could sks tell me if > > there is a list of burials for this cemetery and/or what family > > members were buried there? > > > > Thank you for your help. > > > > William R.

Hello, I'd like to repost my interest in learning about *living* descendants of Abner S. YOUNG of Killingly, CT, in the late 1800's. I would like to know if any of his descendants have the "papers and notes" used by his grandson, Winthrop YOUNG, to write a family-history document. Winthrop's three sons might all be living in Ohio; his only daughter might be living in Massachusetts. Winthrop had 3 siblings; they grew up in New Haven, CT. Fred YOUNG died in 1996 in CT. I do not know who their two sisters married; they were Mary Barbara YOUNG, b1915, and Evelyn Virginia YOUNG, b1917. I believe I found out a few years ago that Winthrop and his wife retired to Clearwater, FL. But, he reportedly died in Rhode Island in 1997. Is there a way for me to find out which town Winthrop died in? Winthrop YOUNG, b1915 CT, d1997 RI Thank you for your time. Betty (near Lowell, MA)

I am hoping someone may be able to help with a look up for the 1930 census for Hartford, CT and 1920, Arlington NJ. Frederick Edwin CASTRO arrived in 1919 from England and stayed in Arlington, NJ and possible east Orange NJ for a while. The family moved to Hartford CT sometime after 1920. Fred's parents were William and Lilian ( Lillie) CASTRO. He had a brother, George William CASTRO b 1905, Paddington, London UK. Lilian CASTRO ( nee SMITH) died 1868 . Frederick married Anna K LILLIS who died 1961, then he married Reta K ????. I found these records listed on Ancestry.com but am unable to access the details: Frederick E Castro Birth: abt 1909 Residence: 1930 - city, Hartford, Connecticut Source: Census - 1930 United States Federal Census Fredrick Castro Birth: abt 1909 - location Residence: 1920 - city, Essex, New Jersey Source: Census - 1920 United States Federal Census Death: Frederick Castro Birth: dd mm year Death: mm 1986 - postal code, city, Hartford, Connecticut, United States of America Other: Connecticut His mother Lilian E CASTRO ( nee SMITH)-married William CASTRO -he was the son of Edwin CASTRO: LILLI E CASTRO WILL Birth: year Death: dd mm 1968 - city, Hartford, Connecticut Residence: city, Hartford, Connecticut Source: Birth, Marriage, & Death - Connecticut Death Index, 1949-2001 He had at least 2 daughters : Betty and Rose CASTRO. I believe the family had a fish and chip shop at some stage. Any help finding this family would be most apprciated. Jocelyn Sydney Australia

I just added the book Litchfield County Sketches, by Newell Meeker Calhoun (1906) to the books at my web site. The books are listed at the bottom of the history page. This book contains 17 sketches of life in Litchfield County, but most would apply to all of the area as wll as Litchfield County. These are all fairly small, so they make easy reading, and will give a little more insite into whare your ancestors lived. http://www.rays-place.com Ray Brown

Coralynn Brown has started transcribing the family histories from the Middletown Upper Houses volume (published in 1908). BUCKELEY, BUTLER, CLARK & DOOLITTLE are on line with more to come. These appear to be selected family trees that do not encompass all of the children, but if your line is included, there will be lots of information. The files will be found at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jdevlin/ Jane Devlin Lake Orion, MI DUNHAM - WILCOX - TROTT - KIRK over 2400 data files from CT, MA, RI, NJ, NY & MI

HARTFORD COUNTY In the CT town history section of my web site today I added histories for the towns of Bloomfield and West Hartford. I also added a 2nd history for the town of Canton. This is a lot like the other one for Canton, but has info on some people that the other one did not have. WINDHAM COUNTY In the History section of my web site I added chapters from the history of Windham County for Windham County in the Civil War and Windham County in the French and Indian war. These are interesting reading as well as having info about some of the people from Windham County. http://www.rays-place.com Ray Brown

My grandmother's name is Estelle and it was transcribed as "Castle". Or my mother-in-law's people all have Norwegian names: Bernhart M. became Bernhardin when transcribed. Of course then there is the other problem- my mil's grandfather was Christian but he went by Christ which is what appears on the census. I accidently found him on the same page as one of his children because I was looking for Christian. Valerie

There are hidden tricks. You can do wildcards. 1. first 3 letters or more plus asterisk in given name field 2. first 3 letters or more plus asterisk in surname field 3. both of #1 and #2 4.

No, ancestry's 1920 is mainly head of household. :-( I think it also indexes people with a different name than the head of house - like boarders and maids, etc. Better than nothing, though - free is good.
