The Ecclesiastical Affairs Series of the Connecticut Archives, 1639-1820, contains much information about the founding of many churches in Connecticut. Both the indexes and the original records are available online. See the links below.
We also hold many published sources for denominations. Many of these sources include information about the ministers and congregations. The sources below are just a few examples of materials we hold. Search our Library catalog under the denomination for more.
