Hi List, To all those who expressed an interest in this particular case of the old misspelled name problem I'm posting the below emails. First is my request and then the reply. [I posted my request by getting on the NJSA website and selecting archives reference. At the reference web page a send-an-email button was available which I used to send the request.] Maybe this will help someone who would like to avail themselves of the same service.
