CPGC Receives Thanks from the Connecticut State Library
CPGC received a lovely note from the staff of the Connecticut State Library:
“The State Library extends its heartfelt appreciation to the volunteers from the Connecticut Professional
Genealogists Council, whose enthusiasm, expertise, and hands-on support were instrumental to the
project’s success. Your careful work of unfolding and flattening fragile records, writing descriptive
summaries on paper slips, and flagging cases for further review helped bring to light stories that deepen
our understanding of Connecticut’s legal and social history. Your dedication has ensured that these
important court records are now more accessible to researchers, educators, and the public for
generations to come. Thank you!“
