What Do I Do Next?

I Found the Person I Was Looking For, What Now?

  • Continue to search the index and records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives who may have married in Connecticut
  • When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name
  • Be aware that, as with any index, transcription errors may occur
  • The marriage officiator listed on the marriage may lead you to church records
  • Search for other vital records, such as birth and death
Tip
 With a marriage date and place identified, try to obtain an image or actual certificate of the original record, through the Connecticut Department of Public Health in Hartford. The index entry generally lists only the most basic identifying information for an individual, so the original record may contain further information which was not indexed. Save or print a copy of the image.

I Can’t Find the Person I’m Looking For, What Now?

  • Look for variant spellings of the names. You should also look for nicknames and abbreviated names
  • Look for another index. Local genealogical and historical societies often have indexes to local records
  • Search the indexes and records of nearby localities
