That's a good idea that I had followed when I was preparing for the 50th reunion that took place in August 2006. In N.J., there is one website that lets me search by county (we have 21), and all the towns within a county, but not the entire state at once. (N.J. has 566 municipalities.) There are 20 guys I haven't located, and since they aren't listed in the Social Security Death Index, most likely they are alive. 66% of the 263 graduates I located still live in N.J. So 66% of 20 means 14 of the missing guys are likely to still be in N.J. (The second most popular state is Florida.) I don't know what percent of the classmates own rather than rent, but I recheck the tax records for these guys again. That could mean as many as 21 searches for 14 guys, or 294 searches! Of course, I would search the most likely and most populated counties first. > Don't forget to google their names.

Once in a blue moon you'll get very lucky and run across an obit on one of the woman's parents which may list her married name (and often her location) in among the survivors. Only really worth doing if the name is unusual. Assume you've also looked for them on the Social Security Death Index - that may hone down your list a bit. Nancy T

I don't know if that is the case here in N.J. Marriages may be considered "news," and as such the announcements are free. In N.J., obituaries are free, because they are "news." But to place a Death Notice, with their tiny type, one must pay.

Ralph Bailey wrote: > You might try the government office that issues marriage licenses and come > up with the names of the females who married in your county. > > Ralph Ralph, Here's a copy of an email I sent someone else regarding this: *************************** I just got off the phone with the Jersey City (location of my high school) manager of vital records. He says they are NOT public records and I can not inspect them. I pointed out that marriages are publicized in newspapers, which sort of makes them public. Didn't matter to him. (Actually, he claimed that marriages are no longer publicized.) He also said that if a relative of a deceased wanted a copy of a death record, he couldn't provide it because it contains the cause of death, and that is private. Bureaucrats: humbug. I asked about commercial sites that provide this information (marriage certificates). All he could say is that they don't get it from his offices (or those of his counterparts). I just spoke with USA People Finders. Even they can't provide marriage names for marriages taking place in New Jersey, for the same privacy reason. So the only benefit I could get from them is locating some of the hard-to-find guys. ************************** So, Ralph, while the idea is logical, in N.J. it doesn't work. Thanks, Ray
