Early New Jersey Marriages - Extracts
____________________________________________________________
from microfilm copies of original marriage bonds in possession of NJ Dept.
of Education, Division of State Library Archives & History, filmed in
1966. "Marriages are from various counties, and are arranged in groups by
surname, but not alphabetical within groups." (Family History Library
Catalog; 0888701-0888710) I have capitalized all surnames for ease in
identification. When there was a discrepancy with a name in the body of the
bond and the signature, the difference of the signature is in parentheses
An asteric * indicates spelling of a locality as found in document.
