I've been thinking about visiting the State Archives in Trenton to do some hands-on research, primarily for birth and death records. Does anyone on the list know if you can just walk in and personally examine birth and death indexes at the archives? Are these indexes in book form or on micro-film? Are the certificates themselves on micro-film and accessible? My research will be for births and deaths in several NJ counties besides Monmouth. Larry

Yes, you can just walk in and start searching the microfilm records. The staff is great and very helpful. I'm not sure if they are open on Mondays.
