The following is copied from Wikipedia, the free encylopedia. Cape May is a _cape_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headlands_and_bays) and _peninsula_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peninsula) which is the southernmost point of the state of _New Jersey_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Jersey) , _United States_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States) . It runs southwards from the New Jersey mainland, separating _Delaware Bay_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delaware_Bay) from the _Atlantic Ocean_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_Ocean) . Many people go to Cape May for tourism, shopping, and for the _beach_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beach) . The cape is named for _Cornelius Jacobsen Mey_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornelius_Jacobsen_Mey) , a _Dutch_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_people) explorer who was working for the _Dutch East India Company_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_East_India_Company) . Cape May is the oldest seaside resort in America, with historical roots dating back to the 1700s. The entire city is a National Historic Landmark, and many of the buildings throughout the town are original Victorian structures that have been maintained in pristine condition. Because of its location by the sea, the white sandy beaches, and the Victorian architecture, Cape May is ranked as the #3 place to get married in New Jersey._[citation needed]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources) The peninsula contains the municipalities of _Middle Township_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_Township,_New_Jersey) , _Avalon_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avalon,_New_Jersey) ,Dennis Township, _Stone Harbor_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_Harbor,_New_Jersey) , _North Wildwood_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Wildwood,_New_Jersey) , _West Wildwood_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Wildwood,_New_Jersey) , _Wildwood_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildwood,_New_Jersey) , _Lower Township_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_Township,_New_Jersey) , _Wildwood Crest_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildwood_Crest,_New_Jersey) , _Cape May_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_May,_New _Jersey) , _West Cape May_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Cape_May,_New_Jersey) , and _Cape May Point, New Jersey_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_May_Point,_New_Jersey) .

I have several familes in Cape May County that includes some of the original settlers. Cape May Court House is the county seat where records are kept. There is also a great genealogy library and museum there along with the court house. The library has some of the best family records in the area. For some more info they have a website. www.cmcmuseum.org<http://www.cmcmuseum.org/> Several large cemeteries in the area. Cold Spring Presbyterian Church was founded in 1889. Once in a while they have tours of the church and cemetery. There are lists available of persons buried here. Shirley
