A few people have been asking about the Barbour collection. When I went
looking for their answer (which years are covered in which cities) I was
shocked to see that they have finally rereleased the Waterbury Barbour
Collection! (Its been going ALPHABETICALLY, much to the disappointment
of us Waterbury Fans).
Anyway, two tidbits to share here:
1 - Want to know if your city had Vital Records in the Barbour
Collection for the years you need them to? I've listed what volumes
include what towns and what years on this website (alphabetical by
town):
http://www.askgar.com/barbour/
I'm ALSO using that website to ask people to contribute information FROM
Barbour. Do you have three pages that you photocopied out of the
Woodbury Barbour? Type them up and send them in! Its a brand-new
effort, so we'll see how it goes. If you want to just use the list of
"what years in what cities" for now, that's fine too.
2 - WATERBURY is now available! You can order Volume 50 of the Barbour
Collection, which contains Waterbury Vital Records from 1686-1853 by
visiting our CT-Waterbury-L website:
http://www.askgar.com/waterbury/
As soon as some of us have our copies on CT-Waterbury-L, we'll start
taking queries. (Allow a couple weeks for shipping and then come join
us!)
Thanks for your interest,
