Welcome ... my name is Linda-Jeanne Dolby and I'm responsible for New Haven County. I do not actually live in New Haven County, but my roots are here and my interest in genealogy and the USGenWeb Project in particular, have led me to volunteer my time. Please contact me if you would like to contribute in any way to this project or to adopt one of the towns located within New Haven County to further develop the resources of that town. Any help will be appreciated.
New Haven County is located in the south central part of CT; contains 610 sq miles; and the elevation ranges from sea level to approx 1000 ft. New Haven County was created May 10, 1666 as one of the four original counties in CT.
