CONNECTICUT PROBATE RECORDS
There are two forms of probate records: the original documents (usually folded
and bound together in packets) and the copies in the assorted record books. As
far as probate courts are concerned, Connecticut is divided into districts,
which do not correspond to either the townships or the counties. Most of the
original probate packages were deposited in Hartford, the state capital, where
they were alphabetized, numbered and indexed. After this indexing, the rest of
the original records were deposited. These were placed in their proper
alphabetical positions, but they were not given numbers and they are not
included in the index. For the Hartford Probate District, for example,
approximately two/thirds of the probate packets are not included in the index.
For this reason I have checked the films for each of the districts to be sure
that I have found all the Cadwell probate packages. Only the older probate
packages have been filmed.
The recorded probate records are also available, and exist even for some
estates where the original documents have been lost. The assorted will books
and administration books have also been filmed for later estates, for which the
original documents were not filmed.
