The history of the state of Connecticut began in the early 1630s as settlements were formed along the Connecticut River in the areas of Windsor, Hartford, Wethersfield and Saybrook.
Some of the earliest Connecticut genealogy collections include land, court, church and probate records that date back to the 1640s.
