More than 600 churches have deposited their records with the Connecticut State Library. Most of these records are on microfilm at the Family History Library. Some of these records are indexed in a card index prepared by the Connecticut State Library. This index was microfilmed in 1949 (FHL films 0002806-74). A useful guide to this collection is ''List of Church Records in the Connecticut State Library'' (Hartford: Connecticut State Library, 1976; FHL book 974.6 A1 no. 14; film 1033856 item 9). | More than 600 churches have deposited their records with the Connecticut State Library.
