Guilford Vital Records Transcript at the Connecticut State Library and NEHGS

"The Vital records of Guilford prior to 1850 are found in two volumes. The entries from the volume known as 'Volume A' were made from a copy of the original.

This alphabetical list was taken from a set of cards based on a copy of the Guilford Vital Records made in 1914 by James N. Arnold, of Providence, R.I. The Arnold Copy, now in the possession of the Connecticut State Library, has not been compared with the original and doubtless errors exist. It is hoped that as errors or omissions are found notes will be entered in this volume and on the cards which are included in the General Index of Connecticut Vital Records also in the possession of the Connecticut State Library.

Hartford, Conn., June, 1924"
