		Professional Genealogy Services Researching, recording, and sharing your family story is a rewarding pasttime, but it takes both time and expertise to thoroughly examine all the possible data sources that may hold clues about your ancestors. Many family events present a great opportunity to share and exchange stories about prior generations. Wedding Anniversaries, Grandmother's Birthday, Birth of a Grandchild, or a Summer Family Reunion - - they are all great reasons to have a professional researcher help you gather the facts and present them in a clear and visually attractive format. For those with large extended families, you might even want to share your history on a website for your distant cousins.

		Genealogy & Heritage Societies Serving Connecticut As one of the earliest colonies established in the New World, the history of Connecticut is of great interest to many researchers throughout the United States (and elsewhere in the world). Descendants of early Connecticut settlers now number in the millions. In addition to these early colonial settlers, a large number of immigrants came to Connecticut in the late 1800's and early 1900's. This early ethnic diversity shaped the many cities and towns of Connecticut. Today, there are a number of ethnic heritage societies located throughout the state, as well as genealogical and historical societies. Anyone conducting research in Connecticut should consider contacting one or more of these organizations to learn about what they have to offer. You'll also appreciate meeting others who share your particular interest!
