Abstract:
During April of 1930, 3624 men, women and children living in Simsbury Connecticut were enumerated in the decennial U.S. Federal census. Now 77 years later, the lives of most of these individuals have ended, but each of their personal histories lives on through public records that reveal their origins, their military service, their occupation, their family, and their eventual demise. Vital statistics, prior census records, town directories, newspaper articles and obituaries are but a few of the many sources which serve to document the lives led by these early 19th century Simsbury residents.
