During April of 1930 at the very onset of the Great Depression, 3248 men, women and children living in Bloomfield Connecticut were enumerated in the decennial United States Federal census. Now 87 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 occupations, their families, and their eventual demise. This compendium uses vital statistics, prior and future census records, military records, immigration and naturalization records, town directories, newspaper articles and obituaries to document the lives led by these early 20th century Bloomfield residents. Through extensive research it pulls together many of these details in one place for future reference by family members, genealogists and town historians.
