I called them and talked to the guy in charge of compiling the Dept History for info about my GGF James MEEHAN (1843-1899)the 1st Fire Commissioner for a Paid Dept in Jersey City-1871. He was useless-he doesn't know where anything is???? I know Bayonne has a Firefighter's Museum. You might try calling the Dept's that you are interested in and ask them if they have something similar? Usually when people don't want to be bothered they say all the records were burned up in a fire! You might have a better chance at the J.C.Library-Newspaper archives-NJ History Room.They might tell what papers and how far back they go;but to get copies and lookups you have to go there. That's about all I know. Regards,AL Thomas Novak wrote: > > Al: Since you are a fireman from the JC area, I have this question.
