The Barbour Collection of Connecticut Town Vital Records
The Barbour Collection of Connecticut town vital records at the Connecticut State Library in Hartford is one of the last great genealogical manuscript collections to be published. Covering 137 towns and comprising 14,333 typed pages, this magnificent collection of birth, marriage, and death records to about 1850 was the life work of General Lucius Barnes Barbour, Connecticut Examiner of Public Records from 1911 to 1934. Through the year 2000, our compilers have transcribed about three-quarters of the Barbour Collection, spanning the towns of Andover through Stonington, in 43 separate volumes. Book by book, the record entries in this series are arranged in strict alphabetical order by town and give name, date of event, names of parents, names of both spouses, and sometimes such items as age, occupation, and specific place of residence. Following a one-year hiatus, the Barbour series resumes with Volume 44, compiled by Jan Tilton. Covering the towns of Stafford and Tolland, Connecticut, this volume identifies some 31,000 18th- and 19th-century inhabitants.

Early Massachusetts Marriages Prior to 1800
This is the most complete collection of early Massachusetts marriages ever published, containing over 20,000 entries for the period 1643-1800. The marriages derive from records kept by the various county, city, and court clerks in compliance with Massachusetts law and give the full name of the bride and groom and date and place of marriage. The book is divided into four sections, and each section of the book is separately paginated and indexed, except for the last, which is arranged in chronological order.
