Thanks Joel, this is the directions I was looking for.  Thank you to everyone else who responded.  How safe is it to walk from the station to the library?  I'm not familiar with Jersey City only what I've seen and heard on the news.  My son use to work for Home Depot here in Hamilton, and once he had to take the company truck to pick up a stove in Jersey City from someone who wanted to return it.  He was a little lost and stopped at the police station and they told him this is a unsafe place to be riding in and to leave as soon as possible.  So I'm a little nervous about it.

By all means, unless you absolutely cannot walk two long blocks and hree short blocks to the library, leave your car at the Hamilton Station nd take the NJT train to Newark. At Newark, change to the PATH train (may e right across the platform). Newark is the end of the line, so take any ATH train three stops (pass Harrison and Journal Square) to Grove Street. When you exit the station ask someone to point you towards City Hall three short blocks south on Grove Street). Turn right (west) on Montgomery treet. Walk two long blocks on Montgome ry Street (Van Vorst Park is along he second block) to Jersey Avenue. The library is on the northeast corner, ith the entrance on Jersey Avenue. Once in the library, you will want to visit the rest rooms on the irst floor, as they are the only public rest rooms in the building. Then you ill probably want to go the New Jersey Room on the third floor, or perhaps ook at old newspapers (Jersey Journal, Hudson Dispatch, Jersey Observer, tc.) on microfilm in the Reference Room on the second floor. Take the rand staircase, or board the ancient elevator if a lot of steps are a chore. y the way, while in the library, be sure to visit the used book store in he Circulation Dept. on the second floor (softbound 50 cents or hardbound or $1). The staff throughout the library are extremely kind and helpful. heck the library's web site for more information. After your visit, retrace your steps to the Grove Street PATH station. Although there is only one platform, there are a variety of trains there. Be sure to board a train going directly back to Newark (skip the trains nding at Journal Square as you will have to change there to the Newark rain anyhow). Obviously, these directions will work for anyone coming by rain from other points in New Jersey on a line stopping at Newark. Genealogically yours, Joel R.
