Hi Melissa - Richard Horvath ( r.horvath@worldnet.att.net ) is a member of this list, but in case he does not see your message, I suggest you contact him about your Elizabeth in Elizabethtown, NJ. Richard has researched quite a few NJ Blanchards and may be able to help you. Also, in a post to BLANCHARD-L on 24 Mar 1998 by Tom Wilde, who at that time was relaying information to and from Pat Blanchard Curry of CA, I found the following in the list archives. ______ JOHN, of Elizabethtown, NJ m his 3rd wife Suzanne REZEAU 1697 in NY City [Much data on desc. is in the NY Gen. & Biogr. Record v75:145-160 - Hartman, J.C.: "The Blanchard Family of Eliza beth, New Jersey [contains some errors] ______ If you have access to the NYGBR, you might check this. I believe that Vol. 75 would be 1944. Let me know if you are unable to locate a copy and I will check my local library which has a partial collection. This might be a good opportunity for me to remind all the members that the list archives at RootsWeb is one of the best places to begin a search for information about your ancestors. It only takes a few moments and the more you search, the easier it becomes. Even if it doesn't provide exactly the information you seek, you might get some great leads. The above post was found at the BLANCHARD-L archives, using the search word - Elizabethtown - for the year 1998. Refer to your Greetings/Guidelines for Searching the Archives and don't forget, if you have misplaced G/G, there is a copy on the BLANCHARD-L Web Page.
