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

I am aware that genealogists may study what you have in your office. I am simply trying to determine what you have in advance so the trip will be productive.
In particular, do you possess these three volumes:
• a “Vol.1” at least 50 pages in length and includes marriages 1821-48 and then births, 1847-48?
• The Burton Collection or Norwalk Marriage Records, 1834-1853?
• Marriages in Norwalk, CT, 1848-1851 with School District?
Thank You,
Linda MacLachlan
