The following book reviews on A Fitch Family History accurately describe the quality of Mr. Fitch's work:
"A superb account of the English ancestry of the Connecticut family. This work is beautifully produced, with many appropriate illustrations. In recent years, Picton Press and its president, Lewis Bunker Rohrbach, C.G. have been setting the standards for genealogical book production. A Fitch Family History is a model work that belongs in every genealogical library." - The American Genealogist.
"This thoroughly researched, carefully documented family history is a 'must read' for anyone who is, or will be, researching and publishing a history of English Ancestors." - National Genealogical Society Quarterly
"This book, subtitled "English Ancestors of the Fitches of Colonial Connecticut," should change the minds of the many people interested only in tracing their ancestors 'to the beach.' It is clearly the presentation of the English records that make this work outstanding." - The New England Historical and Genealogical Register.
"This work is one of a relatively new breed of American family histories that deals only with the ancestors of the immigrant(s), in this case four Fitch brothers who had settled in Connecticut by about 1650. Unlike many family histories of this reviewer's experience, this work is enjoyable to read, even by someone without Fitch ancestors." - The Connecticut Nutmegger of the Connecticut Society of Genealogists.
This important work presents in masterful detail the English ancestry from 1400 to 1632 of the four Fitch brothers who settled in Connecticut in the 1630s. The book contains the complete English genealogy, a Glossary of terms used in old English documents, and complete transcriptions of the deeds and wills mentioned in the work.
