What is in This Collection?
This collection is an index to marriages from the marriage abstracts found in the Charles R. Hale collection. The marriage notices were found in local newspapers from 1755 to ca.1870. The marriage index is divided into two parts, by newspaper and the other by surname. The collection is located at the Connecticut State Library.
For a list of Connecticut newspapers, the following guide prepared by the Connecticut State Library will be helpful: A Preliminary Checklist of Connecticut Newspapers,1775-1975. Some of the event dates may be the issue date of the newspaper instead of the marriage date. The marriage notices are located on film at the FamilySearch Library. See the microfilms in the FamilySearch catalog Hale Collection with the film note "Newspapers with Death and Marriages Notices."
