New Jersey Church records are a extraordinary source for the genealogical and historical researcher. In many parts of New Jersey, church records predate civil records. They therefore record vital occasions, providing birth, marriage, and death details which may often be lost. Aside from furnishing names and dates, church records may expose associations between people and depict a family’s standing in the community. In addition, records of a personal nature are not unusual, and these can provide you with a glimpse into an ancestor’s identity or habits.Right before New Jersey County and city governments stored vital records, many people documented very important dates, events, and names in their family Bible. Family Bibles are beneficial research tools. Although the dates cannot be guaranteed, Family Bibles are a tangible link with past generations.
