As early as 1650, it had been each clerk's responsibility to keep vital records of significant events occurring within the state of Connecticut. It was only in 1870, however, that full compliance was achieved by the state due to the establishment of the Connecticut Board of Health. The Connecticut State Library's History and Genealogy Unit also offers birth records occurring before 1897. Also, the Barbour Collection provides valuable birth information occuring up to the year 1850. In addition to these, you may consult the Genealogical Society of Utah, for the microfilmed records that they were able to store up to the year 1900. Though the town's clerks are still responsible in maintaining birth records up to the present, you can only acquire State-certified copies of birth records occuring after July 1, 1897 at the the State Department of Health, while you may also communicate with the vital records registrars in the 169 towns of Connecticut if you wish to obtain town-certified copies of birth records. State-certified documents, however, take 6 weeks of processing. For you convenience, you may avail of the expedited online service, which allows you to pay via your credit card. In addition, you must prepare the standard $20-fee (city/town-issued) or $30 (State-issued).
