The New England Historical and Genealogical Register is the oldest continuously published genealogical journal in the Anglo-American world. For 136 years, since January 1847, the Register has been the official organ of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, the granddaddy of American genealogical institutions. From its inception the Register has published a succession of articles which have elevated it to the premier position among genealogical journals. Unrivaled in content, unimpeachable as an authority and as a medium of scholarly research, the Register is now the most sought after periodical in all of New England genealogy. Its scarcity, however, combined with the growing demand for it, has made the reprinting of key articles from the Register not only desirable but imperative. This present work, a collection of Register articles on Connecticut families, has been compiled to meet that demand.

Genealogies of Connecticut Families, then, is a three-volume collection of family history articles which have been compiled with the object of bringing all such material within reach of the genealogist. This volume, the third in the series, which has its own index, covers the surnames from Painter to Wyllys.

The following families are included in this volume: Painter-Lamberton, Palmer-Kent-Prescott, Parish, Parmelee, Payn, Paines, Payne, Pease, Peck, Penfield, Pennington, Pennoyer, Perkins, Peter, Pierpont, Pierson, Plumbe, Pomeroy, Porter, Post, Potter, Prodden-Burr, Punchard, Quintard, Raymond, Read-Holloway, Reade, Remington, Richardson, Rising, Roberts, Robinson, Rogers, Rossiter, Russell, Sacket-Stanton, Sage, Savage, Seward, Seymour, Sheather, Sheldon, Shepard, Skinner, Slate, Smith, Spaulding, Spencer, Spinning, Spinning-Royce-Beach-Macock, Standish-Wheelock-Kirkland, Stanton, Starr, Stedman, Steevens, Stephens, Stevens, Stocking, Stokes, Street, Taintor, Taylor, Thompson, Thorpe, Todd, Townshend, Tracy, Tully, Vassall, Walstone, Ward-Hawley-Nichols-Hill, Warner, Waterbury, Waterhouse (Watrous), Waterman, Webb, Wells, Whitehead, Wilcox, Williams, Wilmot, Witter, Wolcott, Wolcott-Griswold, Woodbridge, Woodbridge-Parker, Woodward, Woodworth, Wooster, Wright, Wyatt, Wyllys, and the New England ancestry of H.R.H. The Princess of Wales.
