    1. [NJESSEX] Which records
    2. Hello List: Re-subscribed after a long absence. My GGF was a resident of Orange from 1867 until he died in 1881. His death record is the only record I have found that identifies his parents by name. (But, the spelling is questionable.) His parents names are not required on his naturalization papers. He rented, and did not own, his residence. Through the 1870s he had a small merchant tailor shop on Main Street in Orange. His obituary says he was a member of the IOOF (Odd Fellows) Lafayette Lodge No. 12 in Orange, but no records have survived. No church or synagogue affiliation that we are aware of. Can anyone here suggest other Orange or New Jersey records for that period that just might confirm the name of his parents? Many thanks for any and all replies. Dave B.
