Off-Line Information
With a founding dating back to 1716, there is a wealth of genealogical information available in Sutton. Note that what we do have has been time-consumingly researched by volunteers. If you do not see information about your family here, please write the Town Hall and request birth and death records from them. Then write us so we can expand our information! Genealogy works best when we all pull together to build our trees.
