The deep colonial roots of Connecticut offer rich resources for genealogists, from town histories to early church and land records. Works like History of the Old Town of Derby, Connecticut, 1642–1880 provide detailed accounts of early settlers, family lineages, and community life. Vital records, probate files, and militia rosters further help trace ancestral connections in the Constitution State that date back to the 17th century.
