Hi, I want to visit Burlington Co. around Camden and then Lower Bank to search more on my family. I live in florida. Would anyone know where the Burlington Historical society or (Genealogical) would be? Is it worth the trip to visit? Do they have census there? Any advise? I hope to find the cemetery where my family members are buried. They lived in Washington Township and I believe that's close to Camden. Right? I'm looking for the family of Jesse Adam Weeks 1844-1895 who was married to Anna Allen. and their children. I only know of 3 Jesse Allen, Minnie and Lawrence. I don't know the names of Anna's family. No one has the 1900 census close to me. (that I know of) Thanks Paula

(Phone 609-386-4773) and the Research Library is well worth the visit. Hrs. Mon - Thur, 1-4 PM, Sun. 2 - 4 PM, Wed. 10 AM & 1-4 PM and 1st Fri each month 6 - 9 PM. I'm not sure if they have the Census films.
