Lorraine White has transcribed a few of the towns covered by The Barbour Collection. Her books are for sale at some genealogy book dealers. However, the complete Barbour Collection has been microfilmed by the LDS and is available at FHCs across the country. Also such genealogy libraries and societies as NEHGS and Sutro and most town clerk's offices or/and public libraries in towns in CT have it of their towns. For more info on the Barbour Collection do visit the webpage I made up on it: http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/barbour_collection.html Following is a "boilerplate" I have on hand. As host of several CT USGenWeb sites, I'm forever telling people about the Barbour Collection and automatically insert the following "boilerplate" in messages: ------------ Boilerplate -------------- If you are unfamiliar with FHC (Family History Center), FHL (Family History Library of the LDS - Latter Day Saints), and Barbour Collection, do check out my webpage: "The Barbour Collection" http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/barbour_collection.html and the intro of my "New England Genealogy Collections Outside of New England" http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/NECollections.html has links to LDS (Latter Day Saints) pages telling what and where FHC (Family History Centers) are located across the country and around the world. --------------- End -------------------- --- Susan SGTAYLOR1@att.net My Genealogy Website - sgt http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/ - --------------------------------------------- USGenWeb Mansfield, CT http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/mansfield.html USGenWeb New London, CT http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/newlondon.html USGenWeb Norwich, CT http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/norwich.html USGenWeb Windham, CT http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/windham.html USGenWeb Plymouth, MA http://www.rootsweb.com/~macplymo/ -------- New England Genealogy Collections Outside of New England http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/NECollections.html WWW Genealogy Resource Links http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/webresources.html *********************************************************
