Family archives Colonial New Jersey source records, 1600s-1800s
(Software)

Summary on back of CD: "This Family Archive CD includes information on approximately 330,000 individuals in a unique collection of church, court, marriage, land, military, and probate records. Made up of imaged 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 find-aid available in this or any other format. Among the many valuable reference works included on this CD, you'll find perhaps the most frequently consulted book in New Jersey genealogy, William Nelson's 'New Jersey Marriage Records, 1665-1820', and 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 collection included on this CD...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 21 present-day counties of New Jersey.
