WELCOME to The
CTGenWeb Project
Connecticut History and Genealogy
Connecticut,
the "Nutmeg State," is one of the
thirteen original States. From
east to west it extends about
ninety-five miles, from north to
south about sixty miles. It is
bounded on the north by
Massachusetts, on the east by Rhode
Island, on the south by Long Island
Sound, and on the west by New York. Read a brief early History of Connecticut.
We hope you will find plenty of great
information to assist in your genealogy
research. All of us here at
CTGenWeb are volunteers with special
connections to this state, although most of us do not live in Connecticut. County Coordinators may not be in a position to answer questions about your family research, but we hope
to make this journey fun and informative
for you. There are many ways that
you can contribute to the success of
this project. If you have
information to share, please contact the
appropriate County Coordinator or State
Coordinator. You'll find more
about making a contribution HERE.
The USGenWeb Project
was established in 1996 by a group of
genealogists who shared a desire to
create online centers for genealogical
research. Each of our literally
thousands of web sites have been
created and are maintained by
volunteers. Some of the offerings
you're likely to see in these diverse
and creative sites include query
boards, listings of local sources for
records, county and state histories,
online genealogy books, research tips,
maps, and links to helpful internet
resources. You'll even find
transcribed records online, accessible
for free from the comfort of your
home. Our Special Projects, such as
the nationally-recognized Tombstone
Project, assist in the effort to
gather these record transcriptions.
The USGenWeb Archives are a major
repository of data, which is provided
by helpful contributors - people just
like you!
