Genealogy and History

Finding Ancestors ....
wherever their trails led

 

  Hello, my name is Nancy Keyes (formerly Piper) and I am your New Jersey State host.

If you have data that you would like to have posted on this website, please email me.
Please include the County (and State) you are submitting data for.

THIS COUNTY IS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

Our goal is to help you track your ancestors through time by transcribing genealogical and historical data and placing it online for the free use of all researchers.
If you have a love for history, a desire to help others, and basic web-authoring skills, consider joining us! Get the details on our Volunteer Page.
[A desire to transcribe data and knowledge of how to make a basic webpage is required.]

This County currently does not have a host. This means that there is no one available to help answer your questions about this county's history or to help you with your family's genealogy within this county. WE REGRET THAT WE ARE UNABLE TO DO PERSONAL RESEARCH FOR YOU.

Essex County is the second most densely populated county in the state



County Seat is Newark
