Vital Records
In Windsor Locks, the Town Clerk and Assistant Town Clerk are also the Registrar and Assistant Registrar of Vital Statistics. The principal statutory provisions relating to these duties are found in Sections 7-36 through 7-76 and 19a-42 of the Connecticut General Statutes.
As the Registrar of Vital Statistics, it is our duty to ascertain as accurately as possible all births, marriages, deaths and fetal deaths which occur in Newington. In accordance with the provisions of the law, we must make and perfect all records of vital events occurring within the Town.
