Tuesday's Tip: 1939 to 1949 Connecticut death records

  If you've tried to search for death records for the period between 1939 and 1949, you've probably hit a dead end. Why? Records for that period are not available online. You have two options for locating them "off-line." If you know the town where the death took place, you can order the records from the town clerk. If you don't, contact the State Vital Records Office. The state maintains duplicate copies of vital records. It also has an index to records - crucial in locating a record. Good luck!
