This CD includes the records of approximately 330,000 individuals in a
unique collection of church, court, marriage, land, military, and probate
records. Made up of images of the pages of nine New Jersey reference works
published by the Genealogical Publishing Company, and accessed by a single
electronic index, this CD is the entry point for genealogical research in
colonial New Jersey. Moreover, in light of the missing New Jersey census
schedules for 1790-1820, it is probably the most important finding-aid
available in this or in any other format.
Among the many valuable reference works included on this CD you'll find one
work in particular that is perhaps the most frequently consulted book in New
Jersey genealogy, William Nelson's New Jersey Marriage Records, 1665-1800;
and you'll also find Nelson's invaluable Patents and Deeds and Other Early
Records of New Jersey, 1664-1703, both published originally as part of the
official Archives of the State of New Jersey. Another official collection
included on this CD - absolutely seminal in genealogical research - is the
three-volume New Jersey Index of Wills, Inventories, etc., in the Office of
the Secretary of State, which features 185,000 entries arranged under the
twenty-one present-day counties of New Jersey. And the other books on the
CD, complete with dates and places of residence and death, names of brides
and grooms, names of grantors, patentees of land, testators and intestates,
military figures, militiamen, Quakers, and others, make this a totally
unique reference tool. The following is a brief list of the books included:
- New Jersey Marriage Records, 1665-1800
- Patents and Deeds and Other Early Records of New Jersey, 1664-1703
