I discovered (INTERNET) where to write for birth and death records since 1878 (NJ State Dept. of Health and Senior Service bureau of Vital Stats). And, >From May 1848 to May 1878 to New Jersey Dept. of State. Each of the above requests a check for $4.00 per birth or death record. WHERE do you write for earlier records? I need a birth record for 1801 Camden, NJ and one for 1838 Camden, NJ. Also what is the amount? Thanks for your help. Jacqueline Sleeper Russell McKinleyville. CA.
