Reclaim the Records has an impressive success rate for liberating records from unresponsive government agencies. This is the latest effort. Here is a quote from an email message about the new liberated collection.
Introducing ConnecticutGenealogy.org! It's a FREE searchable database of 576,638 births, 2,180,700 marriages, 2,086 civil unions, and 2,772,116 deaths from the state of Connecticut, spanning three centuries. Some of this data had been online before, scattered across several other websites, but with fewer years, in non-downloadable and non-shareable formats, locked behind paywalls, and/or with tools that couldn't handle searching the quirks and oddities in the data very well. Well, now it's all in one place, and we think we've got better data and better tools, and we're here to tell you all about it!
The story behind the acquisition of this collection and the remaining records that still have not been released is described as "Kafkaesque."
