Project Information
The Vincent J. Rosivach Register of Slaves in Fairfield, Connecticut (1639-1820) was a comprehensive database of enslaved individuals in colonial and post-colonial Fairfield. The database compiled information including birth, death, and distribution of enslaved people in colonial and post-colonial Fairfield into a single site to help formulate a once-broken narrative. In several cases, the register was able to piece together entire families, identifying a lineage previously scattered across countless documents.
The Register is now part of the Fairfield Enslaved Peoples Database. More information about the database can be found at the Fairfield Museum and History Center.
