I’d like to thank you for the list as well.

The Lithcfield Historical Society in particular has a great set of resources. They are open to the public for a few hours per week. I would encourage anyone who has Litchfield County Connecticut Ancestors and lives within a driveable distance to visit the Litchfield Historical Society.

There is also a website which is putting some Connecticut Records on-line for free. The website is http://www.hiddengenealogynuggets.com. It has early Norfolk and Washington Marriage records on-line right now.

Regards, Jim

Hello Shelley,
Thanks for the good words on these Litchfield resources. I’ve become familiar with the family names in Litchfield during my research, so let me know if I can be of help. I enjoy doing volunteer genealogy research when time allows. My Revolutionary War ancestor was Aaron Bradley who enlisted twice, both times while a teenager, to work as a blacksmith in the Army artificer’s shop and then as a guard for prisoners and weaponry. Good luck with your Litchfield research.
Barbara

Thank you for this great list of Litchfield resources! I recently discovered my husband’s ancestors lived in Litchfield County around the time of the Revolutionary War. I agree that it is vitally important to compile resources on a locality, even though it takes a lot of time. Your list will be tremendously helpful as I get started on my Litchfield County research!
