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?

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!
