Resources for finding the burial of a veteran ancestor in Connecticut

Looking to discover where a veteran ancestor is buried? Connecticut and national repositories maintain resources that can help.

The Nationwide Gravesite Locator lists veterans buried in national cemeteries or in a private cemetery with a military headstone.

The SAR has a cemetery search option that includes Revolutionary War ancestors they consider qualifying.

The State Library holds a copy of the veteran grave survey that formed the basis of the Hale Collection (not digitize).

The State Library holds a veteran’s death index that was maintained until 1982 (not digitized).

These resources specifically cover veterans. Your veteran ancestor may also be included in the general resources for gravestones and headstones.
