CSG has published its journal, "The Connecticut Nutmegger," since 1968.
During this time it has captured a wealth of information for genealogists such as vital records, probate records, bible records, headstone records, memorials and other useful records. The Nutmegger also presents well-documented family histories and genealogical articles, covering hundreds of families – mainly with Connecticut ties. Published articles include commentary on and corrections to previously published family lines, vital records and town histories. Book reviews, research tips, queries and other valuable tools for genealogists are also available.
As of January 22, it is now available as a searchable database on both the CSG site and that of the New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS).
The joint venture has, according to CSG publication committee chair Dick Tomlinson, brought "forty years of accumulated genealogical treasures off the bookshelves and into digital databases,” while NEHGS president/CEO D. Brenton Simons said, "countless people will benefit from having it available online."
It will be released in stages over 2009. This week, Volumes 1-6 (1968-1973) were released indexing 12,347 names and 477 subject records. Additional groups of five volumes will be added periodically.
