Did you know that millions of genealogy records are NOT available on the Internet?

Many people are unaware that many important records which are crucial to their family tree search cannot be
found online. Many Hartford County records, for example, are only available to

researchers who physically visit
repositories at the local level in Connecticut, at the federal level
in Washington, D.C., or at the LDS Family History Library in Utah,
and are not readily available on the internet. Our genealogy researchers have access to all of these records and are ready to
assist you with your genealogy search in Connecticut.

So, if you have limited your past research to exhaustive internet
searches at Ancestry.com, Rootsweb, and other online databases
and web sites, you may have reached a brick wall because
you're missing out on the literal gold mine of records available
on microfilm, in books, and in other published works at libraries, archives, and other records repositories. Many genealogical records
such as family wills, court records, obituaries, death certificates, military records, and land deeds are not available online and can only be obtained by mailing research requests to places like local public libraries or cemeteries, or by visiting the LDS Family History Library in Utah.
These records are critical to any comprehensive ancestry search
and should not be overlooked if high quality and thorough research
results are to be achieved during your project. For these and other reasons, it's sometimes a great idea to hire a
professional genealogist to assist you with your genealogy search.
