If you have New Jersey ancestors, you may want to get a copy of “Research in New Jersey,” written for the NGS Research in the States” series by Claire Keenan Agthe. The following is excerpted from the December 16, 2009 “What’s New at the National Genealogical Society?”
Just in time for Christmas, the latest NGS Research in the States guide, Research in New Jersey is available. Written by professional genealogist Claire Keenan Agthe, this guide to the Garden State leads researchers down the right path to finding their ancestors—from the colonial era to later immigrants. Early in the history of the NGS Quarterly, lengthy articles about researching in specific states were featured. Eventually the articles were updated, expanded, and published as concise guides to the history, records, and research facilities of a state. The Research in the States series continues this tradition by publishing new guides in print and e-book versions. Research in New Jersey is the latest of thirteen states now available.
