CT State Library Cross-Index Search

This index is a handy way to search for a name or topic across a number of Connecticut State Library indexes. There may be more information contained in the original index than is included here. Each entry in this list has a location of either a record or a file. Records are a brief summary of the case and the court's verdict that can be found in court record books. Files may have more information, such as the original divorce petition, statements from the litigants and witnesses, costs, and other material. To request a digital of physical copy of a record or file, please contact the staff of the History & Genealogy Unit by telephone [phone] or email. There may be a small fee, depending on the size of the order and whether you would like a digital or physical copy. When requesting a copy of a record or file, please include the information from the relevant entry in the index. You are also more than welcome to visit the Connecticut State Library to see these materials for yourself!
