New Jersey Family Histories #1, 1600s-1800s

These sets of book indexes contain The Genealogies of New Jersey Families, which consists of two volumes. The indexes are composed of family history articles that were originally featured in the Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey, the journal of the Genealogical Society of New Jersey. The magazine was established in 1925 to encourage scholarly interest in New Jersey families and remains a vital source of New Jersey historical material. This collection is indispensable to genealogists researching New Jersey history as it references more than 38,000 individuals who lived in the early 1600s to 1800s. The materials cover the entire state of New Jersey and include all the records published in the Magazine, including material and Bible records, from the first issue up to Volume 65.

The information you can glean about each person listed will depend on the source article. Generally, this collection consists of genealogies, cemetery records, church records, and family Bible records. These documents can furnish details such as the dates and locations of significant family events, along with the names of the individuals involved, witnesses, and other family members.
