Barbour Collection: Difference between revisions

'''Compact Disc.''' Jacquelyn Ladd Ricker’s The Ricker Compilation of Vital Records of Early Connecticut, CD-ROM (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 2006), claims to have abstracted not only Barbour’s 137 town volumes and the books from which the rest of the slips identified as “public records” in the Barbour Index were abstracted, but also many other early Connecticut birth, baptism, marriage, death, and burial record compilations which had been published in The Connecticut Nutmegger. The 1.2 million Connecticut vital records on this CD are not easily searchable and seem to contain many errors, including imprecise identification of their sources.
