National Library Week: I Heart My CT State Library













I 💙 my Connecticut State Library!

Just recently, the state library posted links to three of Connecticut military veterans records digitized by Family Search, as shown above. Instead of having to look through index cards, we can click on each of the hyperlinks to see individual images of documents about veterans in Connecticut. 

With my state library card, I can access a number of useful databases from home (in my bunny slippers if I wish), including Fold3 for military records and HeritageQuest for city directories, Census records, historical newspapers, and more. For free!

During National Library Week, please show your 💜 for local, state, and specialized libraries that offer so many genealogical resources!
