Sussex County, New Jersey Lookups Offered
I believe the way to keep genealogy a reasonably-priced hobby is for researchers around the world to help each other. I offer free lookups in Sussex County resources and ask only two things:
Old Sussex County Families
by Charles Edgar Stickney based
on articles published in the 1930's Wantage Recorder
reprint 1988 by Virginia Brown of Genealogical Researchers,
Washington, NJ - This includes genealogies of mostly Wantage
families but has an every-name index.
Sussex County, New Jersey, Marriages
by Howard E. Case
c.1992 Heritage Books, ISBN 1-55613-702-8 - This book covers
1795 (start of civil reg.) through 1878 and is indexed by
bride or groom. Please do not ask for something out of that
data range.
Minisink Valley Reformed Dutch Church Records, 1716-1830
by The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, c.1992
Heritage Books, ISBN 1-55613-556-4 - The Minisink area includes
western Sussex County, NJ; southern Orange County, NY and eastern
Pike County, PA. This book is indexed, includes baptisms and
marriages (no deaths).
1860 U.S. Census Index CD
for Delaware, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, GRS CD#22 by Automated Archives, Inc. - This CD
is indexed and will provide the name, town and sheet number.
This is NOT the actual census data but will save you hours of
micro-reader eyeball roam disease :-) by allowing you to go
directly to the correct page number.
New Jersey Herald
the local newspaper for Sussex County
available on microfilm in my local library for years 1849 to
present. You MUST give me the name and month/year for this
lookup. The NJ Herald includes marriage announcements,
obituaries, family reunion listings, golden wedding
anniversaries, major birthday party celebrations, orphan court
postings, some probate listings, etc. There are no birth
announcements for the 1800-1920's. Newspaper lookups will be
as time permits.
