Public records can be a researcher's greatest tool when trying to establish the dates or specifics behind any important event. Some of the most common kinds of public records are birth and death certificates, and marriage and divorce decrees. Depending on what state your family is from, there are different rules dictating what is available, to whom, and when.

Researching divorce records in Connecticut is a unique case that can help you get a better sense of how to find genealogical information, no matter where you have to look. Although birth, death, and marriage licenses are recorded and filed by the vital records board at the state capital, this is not the case for divorce degrees. Instead, they are only available from the town clerk of the place where they were filed.

In some ways, this makes it easier to find the information you need because a town clerk will have records of all divorces in that county since it first became possible to legally dissolve a marriage. The fact is Connecticut has allowed divorces since the earliest periods of settlements, and you can get a copy of any one of those decrees if you know where to look.
