I enjoy your site very ,visit it quite often,I am originally from Connecticut' now living in Fort Myers. your Jerry Doughterty's Connecticut bring back many fond memories thank you
Jerry, thank you for a look into mine and my families past. I grew up on Main street and many of my family members (Jones, Abbe, Weld) are buried within the cemetaries that you so beautifully photographed.
Jerry: I attached an image to my genealogical page that you took of a Samuel Clarke's tombstone in CAREY CEMETERY, CANTERBURY. Typical resources such as Find A Grave did not have an image, and your time skill, and selflessness came through. Cannot wait to explore your sight further. Best Regards Tom
I ACCIDENTLY CAME ACROSS YOUR PAGE AND THANK GOD I DID. I AM ORIGINALLY FROM DERBY CT AD THE PICS YOU DISPLAY ARE FANTASTIC. YOU BROUGHT ME BACK TO A SIMPLE PEACEFUL TIME IN DERBY. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
I have lived in Monson, MA my first 18 years, now I live in South Korea, working and teaching. This dedication to your work of going from town to town must be praised. How delightful it was to see images of Monson, MA and Stafford, CT again. Jerry, your work is wonderful what an archive of images!
I must say that this was one of the most interesting photo collections I have seen on the net. And the power of the 21 century, that someone like myself can see it all,on the other side of the earth.
Sincerely, Prof. C.J. Maslon and Family, South Korea
I have lived in Indiana for 30 years but was raised in New Britain. My family still lives there. I spent a wonderful session going thru your photos and was so impressed by your efforts. I return to New Britain 3-4 times per year and see my childhood home with new eyes - your photos reinforced my desires to visit and photograph the places of my past. I really admire what you have done.
You are amazing. I love your pictures. Great site for us amatuer geneologists. I am from Connecticut and you just brought me home without having to drive or purchase an airline ticket. Thanks ever so much for sharing your photos.
i ran into your sight while trying to find out where this picture i have was from. On the back it says donated to the children's dept of the Fairchild Nichols Library october 28, 1970 Dorothy Ki??ibay.. any idea? it is a chalk/painting of the Disney Thumper rabbit. I adore the pictures that you took and hope you make your way to Thomaston.

I "stumbled" onto your site and was amazed to see such a wonderful collection of photos. Especially those of the Guilford Free Library, where I happen to work! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank-you for including Monson, Ma. where I live. What a wonderful site this is. I also looked to see if you included the Elijah Chapman saltbox home in the Rockville/Tolland area built around 1730. It was completely restored in the late 60's. My father's grandparents farmed there during the 'first depression' . I'll keep looking. Thanks.

I am very impressed at the quality of your photos, and how diligently you have tracked your way across Connecticut recording its history and architectural beauty. I enjoyed reminiscing about growing up in New Britain, as well as researching the Portland quarry industry, through your many photos of local sights. We appreciate both your effort and your willingness to share your photo collection online.
You are a great national historical treasure! I ran across your webpage looking up details about Enders St.Forest. Nice pix. I'm from Colebrook originally and have lived also in Norfolk. Some nice pix of both places. Sooo much more to look up! Thanks for the trip!
