A Genealogy of the Curtiss Family Being a Record of the Descendants of Widow Elizabeth Curtiss Who Settled in Stratford, Connecticut 1639-40

This volume offers a trove of genealogical information on the descendants of Elizabeth Curtis, opening with the background of William Curtiss, who sailed from London to Boston, New England in 1632. William is thought by many historians to have been Elizabeth’s husband, but through the author’s thorough research, it has been found he may have been the brother of her husband, John Curtiss. Following biographical sketches of the two men, the author then delves into a discussion on the Curtiss Coat of Arms and family crests. The subsequent section contains a genealogical registry, providing a comprehensive record of the lineage of descendants including biographical information compiled from various sources such as town, church, land, and private records. This work serves as a valuable tool for individuals interested in learning more about their ancestors bearing the Curtis, Curtiss, and Curtice family names. A full-name index is used to conclude this book.
