I want to hire someone in the Camden area who uses and is familiar with the resources at the historical/genealogical society or local libraries.

Anyone out there who does this sort of thing for a fee, or who knows someone who does? Please email direct at SmithinDC@aol.com--Thanks.

I'm looking for help in locating and information on Jim and Ella Edwards. They were born and grew up in Camden, NJ in the late 1800's. Ella married and had had at least one daughter. Ella's married name was Crossley

Searching for any information on Harry Edwards and his wife Anna Martha or Mattie. The last address I was able to trace appears on their son Joseph Henry;s birth record. The address was 818 Mt Vernon Street, Camden, NJ. That was in 1876. They also had three other children, all girls. Their names were Letitia, Elizabeth(Lizzie) and Leidy. On Joseph's birth record his mother's name appears as Mattie. On Joseph's SS application her name appears as Anna Martha. Her maiden name was Myers or on some records Meyers. Any information on this family would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I'm trying to trace down an old family story involving a "Mr Bunting." He worked in Philadelphia around 1890 where he may have been a politician or perhaps a civil servant. I'd appreciate any clues or suggestions, no matter how far-fetched they might seem. Thanks. b

I got the same request. I'll see what I can find at the Camden County Historical Society. a 1901 City Directory should give us the answer. Dennis E. Cox

I am getting requests re Camden/history, and look ups and I do not know why, can you help. Yes, I was born in Camden in 1931 and have some knowledge, but I live in Florida and cannot help some people. Please note message below.

I am trying to find the name of the church where the minister/reverend N.H. BURRELL was 'stationed'. (He married my grandparents.) I work/live in Florida, so any tips would be helpful too. Please e-mail me, as I do not subscribe to this mailing list. Thanks very much, Dan Gargel I have not answered this man -
