Cornwall (town) publishes an online index, and the site refuses automated requests - so it can be read by a person in a browser and not by anything else.

A question we could not settle is worth more to you stated than smoothed over, so here are the ones this office left open.
Connecticut is unusual and it matters here: the state has no county government at all - it was abolished between 1959 and 1961 - and deeds are recorded by the TOWN clerk. There are 169 of them, and each town decides for itself how far back its online index reaches. Cornwall's goes to 1946; some neighbouring towns start in the 1990s. There is no state floor, so the answer for one town tells you nothing about the next one.
Two vendors carry roughly seven towns in ten between them, on near-identical terms - a free index search and about $2 a page for a clean copy of a document. Nine towns publish nothing online at all.
The office named above will answer a specific question on the phone, and the most useful one you can ask is what year their online index actually starts. It is a one-line answer and it tells you how much of the chain of title you can read from a desk. Everything older than that year exists, it is simply not online - so an empty search result is not evidence that nothing was recorded.
We run a free screen on any parcel in the United States: the flood zone, wetlands, the survey grid, which county and township you are actually in, who manages the land around it, and what was recorded there before. Every line names the record it came from. No charge, no account.
