please excuse a previously 'bad' post. I'm looking for clues on doing deed research in Middlesex county. looking for several in mid-late 1700s. are these indexed & available for copies? does one go through the courthouse or is there a repository such as Manalapan has in Monmouth? or would they only be found at NJA? I'm not in NJ and would like to do the research long-distance, if possible [the set-up at Manalapan is *very* user-friendly!] thanks for any help any other researchers can provide. kirby in NC looking for the father of Thomas KIRBY b1725 and where he may have come from [and others]
