Ridgewood Public Library has indexed the State Census for 1885, 1895, 1905, and 1915 for Ridgewood and surrounding towns.    They provide details about family composition, occupations, birthplace and more.  The actual census pages can be viewed on microfilm at several libraries or by ordering film through the Family History Centers.  For details and the indexes see our website at:  www.ridgewoodlibrary.org/localhistory/local_history_census_index.htm Funding for this index has been made possible in part through grant funds administered by the Bergen County Department of Parks, Division of Cultural and Historic Affairs through a General Operating Support grant from the New Jersey Historical Commission, a Division of Cultural Affairs in the Department of State. Additional funds were provided by the Ridgewood Public Library. Volunteers from the Genealogical Society of Bergen County also made significant contributions to the project.Peggy W.Norris Ridgewood Public Library 125 No. Maple Ave. Ridgewood, NJ 07450 201-670-5600, ext. 135 pwnorris@ridgewoodlibrary.org
