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.
