Genealogies of New Jersey Families: From the Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey [Hardcover]

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1996 | ISBN-10: 0806321490 | ISBN-13: 978-0806321493

As one of the original colonies, New Jersey is considered the ancestral home of millions of Americans living today. This present work, a joint project of the Genealogical Society of New Jersey and the Genealogical Publishing Company, acknowledges the pressing need for comprehensive, scholarly works on New Jersey families, and it therefore brings together all of the compiled material (genealogies, biographies, etc.) and Bible records published in the Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey, the Society's celebrated periodical, from its first issue in 1925 through the end of Volume 65. Selected by the Society's Board of Trustees, the contents reflect the entire genealogical output of the Magazine, including Charles Carroll Gardner's famous but incomplete series, "A Genealogical Dictionary of New Jersey." Under the direction of the Board, GPC assembled the various articles into two massive volumes, each numbering over 1,000 pages! Finally, GPC produced the name indexes containing over 70,000 names! The fruit of these labors, without exaggeration, is the most comprehensive and well-researched body of compiled New Jersey genealogy ever printed in one place.

This review is from: Genealogies of New Jersey Families From the Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey (2 volume set) (Hardcover)

This much-anticipated consolidation brings together all of the compiled material (genealogies, biographies, etc.) and Bible records published in the Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey, the Genealogical Society of New Jersey's celebrated periodical, from its first issue in 1925 through the end of Volume 65. Under the direction of the Board of the Society, Genealogical Publishing Company assembled the various articles into two massive volumes, each numbering over 1,000 pages, and produced the name indexes containing over 70,000 names! Among other things, the researcher will find special chapters on old New Netherland families, several hundred sketches on New Jersey families with surnames from Aalje through Antram compiled by Charles C. Gardner for his short-lived "Genealogical Dictionary of New Jersey," and scores upon scores of Bible records. The lion's share of the two volumes, of course, is devoted to detailed genealogies of the following New Jersey families:
