There may be more information contained in the original index than is included here. \n\nEach entry in this list has a location of either a record or a file. Records are a brief summary of the case and the court's verdict that can be found in court record books. Files may have more information, such as the original divorce petition, statements from the litigants and witnesses, costs, and other material.\n\nTo request a digital of physical copy of a record or file, please contact the staff of the <u><a href=\"https://libguides.ctstatelibrary.org/hg/home\">History & Genealogy Unit</a></u> by telephone (860) 757-6580 or <u><a href=\"https://portal.ct.gov/csl/email-us?language=en_US\">email</a></u>. There may be a small fee, depending on the size of the order and whether you would like a digital or physical copy. When requesting a copy of a record or file, please include the information from the relevant entry in the index. You are also more than welcome to visit the Connecticut State Library to see these materials for yourself!\n\nThe following indexes are included:\nPersons of Color Troop Enlistments from Connecticut in the Civil War 1863-65\nConnecticut Courant Index 1764\u20131799\nConservators & Guardians, 1699-1900\nConnecticut Divorce Index, 1655-1953\nFitch's Home for Soldiers, 1882-1936\nInquests into Deaths 1711-1892\nLoyalist Connecticut court records index, 1776-84\nMilitary Service Personnel Photograph Collection Index, c.1938-1953\nNoble Pension Records, 1861-1912\nConnecticut Nurses Census 1917\nConnecticut Paupers 1844 \u2013 1907\nGov.
