The Barbour Collection of Connecticut town vital records at the Connecticut State Library in Hartford is one of the last great      genealogical manuscript collections to be published. Covering 137 towns and comprising 14,333 typed pages, this magnificent collection of birth, marriage, and death records to about 1850 was the life work of General Lucius Barnes Barbour, Connecticut Examiner of Public Records from 1911 to 1934. In the summer of 2002, Genealogical Publishing Company reached a major milestone with the release of the final volumes in this series--Volumes 51-55.
The Barbour Collection
is now the single largest series of books ever published by GPC.
Volume 1
in the series, offered on this page, is a transcription of the vital records of the first three towns covered in the collection--Andover, Ashford (comprising 90 percent of the volume), and Avon.

This book contains abstracts of      wills, inventories, estates, guardianships, and chancery court records for      the four Northern Neck counties of Westmoreland, Richmond, Northumberland,      and Lancaster in northeastern Virginia. The abstracts are organized      alphabetically by the name of the deceased followed by the date the record      was written or ordered, the date the document was probated or recorded, and      the abstract of the record, which might include names and relationships of      family members, names of heirs and beneficiaries, witnesses, bequests,      inventories of estates, and court cases involving money, land, or slaves.
A staggering 20,000 persons are named in these abstracts,      which illuminate family relationships with a higher degree of accuracy than      any comparable set of genealogical records, providing a rock-solid      foundation for building your family history. Along with the index and      bibliography, the book contains appendixes discussing such subjects as      surname variants, nicknames and given names, county families, and slave      names. Besides this rich trove of data, the abstracts are a window on the      times, providing social and historical context for the first quarter of the      nineteenth century, identifying people from both the 1700s and the 1800s.
