I'd like to find records of St. Peter' Catholic church in Jersey City from the 1860s and 1870s, especially any kind of member list-I've been through LDS film of christenings-they have nothing else that I'm aware of. Also, what ward would St. Peters have been in or next to at that time? I'm tying to narrow down which census to look through for people attending that church. Thanks for any help.

Hackettstown Gazette May 13,1920 Thomas Noland Illness Fatal Death Removes Another of Hackettstown's Oldest Mechants The announcement reached here Wednesday forenoon from the Easton Hospital that Thomas Nolan had died at that instituation a short time before.Not withstanding that it was generally known by his friends that but little hopes were entertained as to his recovery.the report of his death came as a distinct shock to this community of which he had been a resident the greater part of his life. Mr.Nolan was born at Chester Junction,Morris County,sixty six years ago.When when a young man he entered the employ of the Lackawanna Railroad Company and through an efficency of service filled the position for twenty-four years as tie inspector,and in that time passed upon the purchase of thousands of dollars worth of track material. Leaving the employ of the railroad company he entered the grocery business in Hackettstown which he continued until his death,covering a period of twenty-two years.Besides his long mercantile career he served Hackettstown in several official capacities and with an exactness that was ercognized by colleagues and the community as well,included in that service were several terms as town clerk.When the office of commissioner of charity was established by Statw law in 1912 to supersede the overseer of the poor act he was chosen by the Common Council for that office abd is the only person to have filled that office in Hackettstown,which was made vacant by his death. His illness began several month ago and for several weeks prior to death had been unable to give attention to business.Through therelief from business obligations it was hoped he might regain much of his former health,but conditions remained serious,and about ten days before death went to the hospital for special treatment. There was a stalwart manhood in the sovial and business life of Mr.Nolan that attracted a large friendship.His church relationship covering many years was with Trinity M.E.Church.In fraternal organizations he was a past master of Independence Lodge,F and A.M.,a past noble grand and treasurer of Musconetcong Lodge,I.O.O.F.,and a member of Monitor Council Firemens's Association. He is survived by his wife,and two children;Mrs William Houston of Phillipsburg and Harry G.Nolan of this place. Funeral services will be held tommorow afternoon at 2;30 o'clock at the house,Rev.C.J.Hoyt in charge.Interment will be in Union Cemetery.

Mary, My great-grandmother attended St. Matthew Evangelical Lutheran Church and is buried in the Grove Reformed Church cemetery in North Bergen. Grove Reformed Church Cemetery 1132 46th Street North Bergen, NJ 07047-2995 Phone: 201-863-0432 St. Matthew's Lutheran Church Roosevelt Avenue & Paterson Road Secaucus, NJ 07094 Phone: 201-865-4185 What I know about the Dutch Reformed Church is that it came from the Protestant Reformation that swept across Europe in the 1500s under the leadership of such men as Martin Luther and John Calvin. Calvin's reformation spread to the Netherlands where it became the Dutch Reformed Church. Since my great-grandmother's maiden name was Winkle, I have a strong suspicion she was from the Netherlands and she also spoke German and married a German. I hope this helps!

My gggrandfather Richard R.Rappleyea(ca. 1814-1884) moved to Jersey City as a young man, possibly as early as 1833, but surely by 1849. By the 1850's he lived in the 4th ward and either his home or business or both were on Morris Street. He continued to live in the 4th Ward per 1860 and 1870 census. His address at his death in 1884 was 273 Second Street. His religion was Dutch Reformed, although he could also have gone to a Presbyterian Church. Does anyone know the names of churches of those denominations in that neighborhood during that time period and where one would write about the records if LDS has not filmed them?

Thanks Bob. No I was not aware of that. Unfortunately I was limited as to time and just asked for a newspaper for JC in a time period and they gave me one which did not have the info. I 'assumed' (ha) that there would likely be just one main paper.

Hi William Just to put in my 2c. When looking for news items in Hudson Co. I hope you are aware that there were many different papers. Depending on the date which you speak of, in Jersey City, Hoboken , Union City, North Bergen etc. I lived in the Jersey City heights and in the 40's 50's the Jersey Observer would have more info. then the Jersey Journal, or the Dispatch. The farther you go back the more papers there were. Hopefully you knew all this, but just in case, I thought it may help.

Hi Bob Seeing your post made me think. I followed your directions of a few weeks ago to find the JC Library. Worked great. Parking was 'interesting'. I rode around a while and finally found a spot on a side street in front of a boarded up row house. Gentleman on third floor was very helpful, found a few references in the directories. Newspaper search was un successful, I don't know why. I was looking for an obit or an article on gr grandfather who died in JC, had exact date of death.

Can anyone tell me if there was a city directory published for Harrison in 1930? Newark Library doesn't have it. If there wasn't, can anyone suggest how I might locate a family member's address for that year? Cathy

I am trying to locate St. Paul's Catholic Church in Jersey City. I am seeking church records of my g g grandmother Mary M. Merry late 1880-1890's and her parents. Christopher Merry and Mary Fay. I have not been able to locate this church. I have found St. Paul's the Apostle and St. Paul's of the cross. But not St. Paul's. Does anyone know if this church is still open or where these records might be found. Or have address. Thanks Richard

HI List, I have been reading list for awhile and want to ask for some insight. My GGfather Charles Hasse and GGmother Margaret Hermus were from Hudson co. NJ. I don't have any dates on them but my Gfather was b. 29 dec. 1900 in Union Hill/City NJ. Does any one have access to an area census or a directory for this time period that could look this up for me. Thanks, Ralf Morales-Hasse nur529@prtc.net

Hi= Thanks for all your responses so fast! I felt like the cat that ate the canary yesterday -thought I had found the missing links but was I surprised today by the diffeneces in the census info....Someone mentioned that it all depended on the census taker...my great grandfathers family was not listed in the 1900 census, even though his brother and his family was and they all lived in the same apartment building (I guess the emumerator skipped his residence or went to lunch or my grandfathers family wasnt home)..ahh ..the challenges....What a wonderfully supportive group of folks you all are! Thanks so much for your help..Kathy Casserly DeCecco
