Descendants of the
Reverend James Fitch

Volume 1, The First Five Generations
Volume 2, Generations Six and Seven
Volume 3, Generations Eight through Ten

Gravestone of Joseph Fitch "Mr. Fitch has done it again. Another beautifully crafted work on the Fitch family. If you are a Fitch descendant, it is ‘must´ reading and you should own a copy." -- The Mayflower Quarterly

"...many good illustrations especially of signatures and gravestones. Each entry is extensively documented...printed by Picton Press, and reflects the usual high quality of their publications...a welcome contribution to the literature." -- The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record
Finally, a Fitch family genealogy of the descendants of James Fitch and his fourteen children. Volume 1 carries the lines down through the fifth generation (and their sixth generation children) - from the Colonial era until the Civil War. Volume 2 continues the genealogy through the seventh generation (and their eighth generation children) - from the Civil War through the turn of the century. Volume 3 concludes the genealogy with the eighth, ninth, and tenth generations (and their eleventh generation children) - down to the present day. Each family entry includes biographical information about the parents, plus a listing for every child. Using modified Register format, each child’s unique number makes for easy tracking, when carried forward to the next generation.

And now, in 2003, the 2nd edition of Volume 1 (only) is also available as a CD. The CD requires Adobe Reader, but if you don't already have this program, the CD also includes an installable version of the reader.
