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

This is very good my complements and thanks for a job well done. I do have a few questions as follows: 1. Wallington, NJ? Did they have any? Or was it in part of another one? 2. Did all Counties have this State Census in NJ? 3. If so has anyone else indexed those Counties? Or plan to? 4 Dose anyone know of a plan on digitizing the Microfilms and have them online or on CD/DVD? I know the equipment is out there, to do just that. I ask about Wallington because I had family living there until they moved to Vineland, NJ and had a farm that I had lived on until I was about 7 or 8 yrs old. The last name was spelled on of several ways VonBartheld, vonBartheld, Bartheld and I have seen it other ways also like Vanbartheld. Trying to find a marriage: in Wallington, NJ for Fredrick Herman bartheld or VonBartheld, Born: 1876 in NYC & Catherine Anna Kuhn, Born: 1881 in NYC. Their first Child was born: 1903 in Wallington, NJ as was all their son's the last one was born: 1912 in Wallington, NJ on Van Dyke St. Any information will be of great help to me in this as well as the answers to the questions above on the Census I think would be of great interest to everyone. Thank You until we talk again, peace be with you and yours Theodore R.
