▼ History

The first eight volumes have been reprinted in three volumes and are more commonly known as Families of Ancient New Haven. In July 1932, commencing with volume 9, it became The American Genealogist and New Haven Genealogical Magazine. In 1937 the subtitle was dropped and the journal became simply The American Genealogist, usually abbreviated as TAG.
