birth records – Connecticut Roots by Charter Oak Genealogy

I can’t locate a Connecticut birth certificate. Now where do I look?

While Connecticut required birth records as early as 1641, not everyone had one. If you can’t find a birth record for your ancestor, where else might you find their birth date and place recorded?

How do I locate a Connecticut birth, death or marriage record?
