Long time Connecticut resident, interested in local history, genealogy, and historic preservation. I have authored State of CT historic inventories for Windsor and New Haven. I grew up in Middletown, CT and have lived my adult life in New Haven and Guilford. I now live in Branford. I am happy to answer questions about material culture in these areas ( places, buildings, memorials, cemeteries).My family ties are to Maynard (Worcester, MA), Van Meter (Hudson Valley and New Jersey), Finley (PEI and Mass), Peck( Stratford,CT) and Rose (Long Island).
