Janet Krompier has volunteered to do "look ups" from "The Barbour Collection of Connecticut Town Vital Records" for the neighboring town of Norfolk 1758-1850. Please be as specific as possible.....preferrably providing both the given name and surname as there are many listings for the same surname.
