Died in New York City and Buried in Connecticut?

Use this thread to discuss Died in New York City and Buried in Connecticut?, presented by Bryna O’Sullivan.

Session Description

New York City families with Connecticut roots sometimes sent the remains of their deceased relatives back to Connecticut for burial. The records created in that process can provide insight into our ancestors and their family history. This presentation will introduce three sources documenting Connecticut burials, opening with the Hale Collection (a Works Progress Administration cemetery transcription project) before moving on to sexton’s or burial books, and then burial transit permits. The discussion will touch on the laws behind each source, their strengths and limitations, and how to access each of them.
