My impression is that it was not helpful. You may be right, but I hate to let anything pass me by without checking it out. When I was there about 4 years ago, they were not too helpful and awe did not find much. It is so difficult to go through hundreds of pages which are not indexed hoping to spot a name. You are right!! My daughter Sandy from Utah and I were in New Jersey last month, but only had a few days in Hunterdon Co. Just wanted to focus on the Surrogates office and the Hall of Records in Flemington. There wasn't much, we did both in one day. Found some 1900 Swicks that I don't know where, or whom they belong and they owe money to 2 sanitariums. Not sure I want to know them. LOL Visited some of the Municipal Buildings in different areas, but they also had nothing. Can't believe they don't have old record books from the 1700 and 1800's. Stopped; at Spruce Run Church, but no one was there that could help us. We were told their records are at the Museum down the road. We stopped there, but hey were closed that day and all week because of painting. I'm trying to get a copy of the church records, birth, bpt. death & marriages. Stayed with one of my daughters in Trenton and went one day to the Archives, didn't find much there either. Once I was looking for Almira D. Philhower (1845-1909) who married Frederick H. Eick, and it took me several weeks to locate her as the daughter of Richard Philhower and Elizabeth Beavers. Speaking of Beavers, Clarence Swick and wife Minni Sutton, had a d aughter, Ann who married Cecil Beavers 1931. Cecil is buried in the New Germantown Cemetery on Joliet St., Oldwick. Cecil & Ann had a daughter Shirley, married James Reed, they still live in Oldwick on Williams Street. She could be a lot of help, but is not. Last I knew her mother Ann, was still in a Nursing Home, maybe Clinton, not sure. Have birth, death, marriage on Cecil Beavers, but don't know who his parents were. Have not checked the archives for that family yet. Appreciate all your help, Gloria
