The archives of the Archdiocese of HARTFORD have microfilms of the old church records on microfilm.? If you tell the archivist in what area of the city your ancestor lived, the approximate year?and their nationality, she will go to the appropriate church(es) and search.? I don't know if individuals can search the films.? However, the day I was at the archives someone, not an employee, was doing personal genealogy.? The archivist was VERY cooperative.
