Hello Rob and ECRs, If you're planning to go to NEWARK than the Newark Public Library and the NJ Historical Society are your best bets. The are relatively close to each other and you can walk between them. For information on both go to these URLs: <http://www.npl.org/> <http://www.rootsweb.com/~njessex/towns/newark/njhsgc.htm> If you're in the vicinity of New Brunswick then the Alexander Library at Rutgers has the information. <http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~geishome/ggg/miscdebr/miscrutg.htm> <http://scc01.rutgers.edu/alexhome/> >Planning a trip to NJ and want to research my family from Newark. Need to >check City Directories, Census Info and Newspaper obits. Is the Newark >Library the best place to go for this info???? Or is there somewhere else I >can go that has the same info available. ------------ Glenn G.
