Thank you Barbara for your help in explaining the difference in the tapes. I have already looked on the 1848-1906 tape series, and have found the records that I was interested in (for 1874), but alas, no arrival date, shipping details or port of departure. I'll have a look at the other tape and see what I can find. If anyone is interested in the tape numbers - I didn't write them all down. Some of them are 1848 - 1906 date range. Title - NJ Court of Common Pleas. Naturalization Papers. 1871 1310741 1871 - 1872 1310742 1872 - 1873 1310743 1873 - 1874 1310744 1874 1310745 1874 - 1875 1310746 1875 - 1876 1310747 1876 1310748 1876 1310749 For the 1779 - 1888 date range, I only wrote down one tape number. This grouping has the same title, namely NJ Court of Common Pleas. Naturalization Papers. 1874 1311318. Also another record which may be useful - Miscellaneous Naturalization papers 1816 - 1901 1319720. I'll try and get the rest of these tape numbers tomorrow. Regards, Steve Way (Australia)
