• The Connecticut Nutmegger, the journal of the Connecticut Society of Genealogists, is becoming part of NEHGS' online subscription databases ($75 per year).

The Nutmegger database will be released in stages, starting this week with issues from 1968 to 1973. Members of both organizations’ Web sites can search them.

• NEHGS’ 162-year-old journal, The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, is helping people find ancestors and save trees. Society members can opt to get the Register in searchable PDF form.
  

• Last, NEHGS did some math and announced it added 5 million names to the site last year, including a million Massachusetts records and more than 3 million Social Security Death Index records.

In 2009, Web site database development coordinator Sam Sturgis is shooting for one or two databases every week.
