I am Jane Muir Sellery, M.A., M.Ed., the Vice President of the Connecticut Professional Genealogists Council and the Consulting Genealogist to the Town Historian of Salisbury, Litchfield, Connecticut. In that capacity, I am heading a project to catalogue and map all of Salisbury's town owned cemeteries.

For 2017-2019, in honor of the 100th anniversary of the United States entering World War I, I am working on Salisbury's history for the years 1917 to 1919. I would be most appreciate any photos, stories, or memorabilia you may be able to share

If you have family from Salisbury, please consider sharing your family's history with me or Jean McMillen, our Town Historian. For many years, Jean has been collecting and indexing oral history interviews.

In November 2016, Salisbury celebrated the 275th Anniversary of our first town meeting. The Salisbury Historical Society commemorated the anniversary with the exhibit "Salisbury 1613-1751: A Wilderness Transforming" at the Academy Building on Main Street. The Academy Building is open weekdays from 9 am to 11pm.

In 2015 I was involved with the production of "Salisbury, 1800-1870: A Town in Transition" by film maker Ann Villano and writer and narrator Peter Vermilyea. The film may be viewed on the Salisbury Historical Association's website at: http://salisburyassn.org/historical-society/salisbury-association-documentary/

Much has been written about Salisbury's role in the Revolution, but its 19th century history has been largely neglected. This film's focus on work, worship, education and domestic life between 1800-1870 changes that. Utilizing the Salisbury Historical Society's collection, it provides a portal to the 19th-century sites residents, visitors and weekenders drive past daily. In connecting then to now, it asks viewers to understand today's town in the context of its 19th century roots. The film includes location shots and period photographs which introduce the ore miners, shop keepers, farmers and former slaves on whose shoulders the town's history rests.

Support for the film came from the Teaching and Learning Initiative Fund at The Hotchkiss School, the Connecticut Humanities Fund, the Salisbury Historical Society, and the Upper Housatonic Valley National Heritage Area. For more information on the film or the Salisbury Historical Society, please call 860-435-0566, or send an email to [email protected]. .

I am eager to improve the memorials I manage, and encourage your contributions to this effort. Please use the edit tab on the memorial to suggest corrections or request that additional information be added, and feel free to leave messages for me directly on the website. I am unlikely to respond to edit requests via email.

I am willing to assist you however I can in your research, and will graciously respond to transfer requests for relatives.

Please consider assisting me on my work on Salisbury's town cemeteries. It is an enormous project, and I welcome the company. I will happily accept temporary transfers of any Salisbury, CT memorials to facilitate the writing and editing of biographies. I have a great interest in improving the final product, and no interest in collecting other people's relatives.
