Hartford County Vital Records
|
The Barbour Collection of Connecticut Vital Records
was named for Lucius Barnes Barbour, State Examiner of Public Records
from 1911-1934, under whose direction the project was begun. Barbour
had directed the publication of the Bolton and Vernon vital records
by the Connecticut Historical Society in 1909. He hired several individuals
to transcribe the vital records of most other Connecticut towns. Most
well-known was James N. Arnold, who had previously published the Rhode
Island vital records.
Barbour presented the "Arnold" transcripts to the Connecticut State Library, where the information was typed onto printed forms. These form sheets were then cut, producing 12 small slips from each sheet. The slips for most towns were then alphabetized and the information was typed a second time on large sheets of rag paper, which were bound into a separate volume for each town. The slips for all towns were then interfiled, forming a statewide alphabetized slip index/abstract of most surviving town vital records to ca. 1850. Thus, there are two parts of the Barbour Collection: the slip index, and bound volumes for individual towns. Statewide Slip Index/Abstract Until all links have been made, you will
