I am trying to find the source for the date of birth of Carrie/Caroline Pickel on 2 April 1833 in Alexandria, Hunterdon Co, NJ. She was in Michigan in 1850 and m Truman Curtis 1859. She died 1910. Need to connect her to parents who I believe are Jonathan Pickel and wife Hannah Person or Besson. They were married 1821 in Alexandria German Reformed Church but it was not in operation when Carrie/Caroline was born. Does anyone know where I could find the records from this church? Any help greatly appreciated. Dot

This is not what you wanted, but I search MI often for my N.J. ancestors and their history, here is some of what I found, but nothing about your Carrie/Caroline Pickel of New Jersey, except the Dibean Marriage Index.
