The American Genealogist, April 2005:  To celebrate its 50th anniversary ... the vigorous Connecticut Ancestry Society ... published two special issues of its journal. ... It includes 13 original articles by some of the best genealogists and researchers in the country. ... These articles are now the best accounts available on their subject matter, and each is a model for other researchers. ... Every library specializing in Connecticut scholarship should obtain a hard-bound copy, ... and many libraries and individuals will want to join the Society.

The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, April 2005:  Deciding what to include from such a long period is difficult, and the editorial committee is to be commended for their choices, which give the flavor of the journal's diverse contents. ... The focus of Connecticut Ancestry is "Southwestern Connecticut." ... Because of migration patterns, Massachusetts, Long Island, and the Hudson Valley are mentioned frequently in these articles.

The Connecticut Nutmegger, September 2005:  This is a fine book to commemorate 50 years and also will be useful to researchers looking for the families cited.

The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, October 2005:  Selected past articles of various types have been reprinted along with useful lists of the other articles that will be found in the Society's publications. From this mix one gains an overview of the Society's many accomplishments. ... Any researcher with early family connections in southwestern Connecticut will want to peruse this entire volume.
