Actually, I believe Maisie (or someone on her behalf) posted about a year or two ago the reasons for posting the Burlington information. If I recall correctly, at one point Maisie even asked if she should continue posting the Burlington census info and the response was, I believe, an overwhelming "yes!" Her reason for posting this information was, again relying on memory, to the effect that because many Monmouth families have ties to Burlington, she felt the information might be useful to some people. Like the Monmouth and Ocean crossover families in southern Upper Freehold, Millstone, Howell, Wall and Freehold, Brick, Jackson and Plumsted, there are families in Western Monmouth, ie, Upper Freehold, Millstone, Manalapan, that have family across the border in Burlington. Maisie thought the information on those Burlington families might be helpful to some people who don't have access to the Burlington census. Scott D.
