I also request that, if possible and pursuant to Conn. Gen. Stat. ยง 1-212(d), fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest and not made for commercial gain.

Look, I have access to your 1847-1901 book of vital records, so I am really only interested in information about earlier books of births, marriages, and deaths.I understand you have at least one book with records as early as 1823 and as late as 1854. Can you confirm that?
Thank you,
