They have wonderful research material, and with a visit to the courthouse and the help of such nice people, I have located a great deal of material. If you haven't seen their newsletter or used their publications, you are missing an extra fine source! Gayle forgot to give you the web page address where you can find a listing of the "wonderful research material" she mentions above The Fairfield County Chapter of OGS page is found at http://www.greenapple.com/~ksmith We hope you stop by and take a look.
