Hello listers: I am a "newbie" to Connecticut genealogy, as all my previous genealogical work has been done in the state in which I grew up, New York. However, I have now traced a group on my ancestors back to the early 1800's and here they are in Connecticut! So essentially I find myself needing a crash course in both Connecticut geography and history! Hope some of you'all can help me! :-) It appears *most* of my ancestors were from Litchfield County, which I understand is the western-most (?) county of CT and just over the NYS border. The one non-Litchfield County reference I have is Weston, which is why I am including myself on the Fairfield County list. So I guess it would be best for me first just to ask a few general questions and see what info you'll can give me and go from there. (1) I hate to appear really "ignorant" but I am really not sure what the CT River Valley is -- does the river run north-to-south? What counties/townships of CT does it encompass or doesn't it work that way? (2) I have recently learned that my ancestors were "with the railroad"; that is how they came ot NYS and (some) eventually to Michigan. Does anyone know WHAT railroad runs west-to-east along this route? This would have been in the time frame of approximately 1875-1920. (3) Does anyone have any good resources for the Towns of Sharon, Cornwall, Canaan, and Salisbury? Or is Connecticut even like NYS in that most records are kept in Town Clerks Offices?? Are there any "kind" historical societies for any of these four townships?? Have you had positive experiences with them? Well I guess those are probably enough questions for now -- thanks for ANY help y'all can give me -- it will REALLY be appreciated! :-) Marsha Strong Gainesville, FL Researching in CT: STRONG; REED/REID; DOUGHTY; SEELYE; JOHNSON; ROOD

According to vital Records of Saybrook Colony: Pg. 575 Fourth Ecclesiastical Society 1812, 22 Sept Capt. Phinehas Warner aged in 64 year Pg. 566 Fourth Ecclesiastical Society 1799, Oct 17 Phinehas Warner Jr. to Lydia Clark - both of Chester. Pg. 576 Fourth Ecclesiastical Society 1819, June 8 Widow Eunice Warner (death record) I don't know about the Capt. status for Phinehas Warner. He may have just been a commercial fisherman or merchant as there were lots of them in the area due to Saybrooks close proximity to the ocean. I hope this helps. I'm not actually researching this line but I have he Vital Records of Saybrook Colony so I do lookups if I happen to notice that someone is looking in that area.

I'm up against a stone wall and need some assistance. Levi Scott first appeared in the 1810 census on page 045, 1820 page 478, 1830 page 350 and 1840 on page 013. Is there any kind soul out there that could tell me what exactly are on those pages? Supposedly Levi Scott was from Plymouth, Litchfield County, Conn. I desperately need to know the names of his children. Thank you for any assistance.

On June 12th of this year our family was in Yellowstone Nationa Park and we found a head stone within an enclosure. "Mattie S. Culver wife of E. C. Culver March 2nd 1889 aged 30 years."

I need help in finding Royall Ancil Thompson (b. 18140 who married Sarah Jane Warren (b. 1819) in 1837. Any leads in Hebon, Columbia, or Willamantic. Both died in 1984. Harlan or Walton Clark Thompson may be their issue. Thank you.

Does everyone know that you only have to include from www. on of any web site in order to make it an easily usuable form where others only have to click on it. Including ">>HREF=" just clutters the meat of the URL and results in a lot of extra steps to access the site. Try this one and you will see what I mean. http://www.gorge.net/aff/ and/or www.gorge.net/aff/ If the url is underlined and a different color you just click on it to go to the site.

CAPT Phineas Warner, Saybrook and Chester, CT, b. 1749; m. Eunice Church; d. 22 Sep 1812. What was his service? Have not been able to locate him in Rev. War in the Army. Was he perhaps a ship's Captain? Any suggestions on where I should look for maritime service? SSMc

However, it isnt necessary that you visit each site I find and submit...that is your perogative. I dont have the time to give each CT site I find and contribute an explanation. If it strikes one's fancy use it, if not ignore it.
