An index of Births, Marriages, and Deaths that occurred in the years 1850 to 1895 in Newtown, CT  is available to search online. Every effort was made to accurately transcribe the BMD records, though some names were not legible. The BMD index can be found at Hidden Genealogy Nuggets.

The 1890s Newtown Death Database is also now available online! This database can be found on the Growing up in Willow Creek blog.

Thank you to Bob Pittman who has ensured that all the interments of St. Rose Cemetery are on Findagrave!
