Is there a listing that I can get of New Jersey cemeteries? I live in Phoenix, Arizona and know that my Grandfather Cornelius is buried at the new Newton Cemetery, as well as one of his brothers' families and I know that I have relation (G-Uncle and family) buried at the Tranquility Methodist Cemetery, Sussex Co. My Grandmother Augusta Hamler (1868-1937) and her two daughters are buried at Locust Hill Cemetery in Dover; one grave remains un-used as it was to be my late father's grave and he is already buried in California. But I have so many more relatives buried in New Jersey-- probably mostly in northern NJ, especially Sussex County, Morris County, Warren County and Somerset County. Is there anywhere that I can get a listing of NJ Cemeteries to write to? Thanks very much! Kathleen LPurch6636@aol.com

The Genealogical Society of New Jersey invites you to join us for our 82nd Annual Meeting and Fall Lecture When: Saturday, November 15, 2003 11:00 a.m. Where: Rutgers University Student Center 126 College Avenue New Brunswick, NJ There will be a brief business meeting followed by Anita A. Lustenberger, CG, presenting a lecture entitled “Using DNA in Your Genealogical Research” Anita Anderson Lustenberger, CG, is a certified genealogist specializing in the Hudson Valley. She is also a certified genetic counselor. She has lectured at many local, regional, and national conferences, and has had articles published in national journals. She is a trustee of NYG&B, NEHGS and a former trustee of APG. DNA analysis can pick up where the paper trail ends. It is not a substitute for traditional research but it is a very useful new tool that can supplement it. If the studies are constructed correctly, DNA analysis can test hypotheses, confirm lineages, and suggest where the genealogist should focus future research. This GSNJ program is free of charge and open to the general public. Reservations are suggested in order to ensure adequate seating. Please send email to: art.lawton@att.net by November 7, 2003. Special Collections & University Archives, Alexander Library, at Rutgers University will be open from 1:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. The GSNJ's collections and Special Collections' genealogical materials will be available during this time for use by meeting attendees.

I'm sure someone out there can help and I would much appreciate an answer. Looking at an official ship's manifest from 1902 on a ship from Naples to NYC, a 2yr old child travelling with his mother (my wife's grandmother)has the word "DISCHARGED" rubber stamped next to his name. Can anyone tell me what this means? Thanks in advance. Paul Ryan Mamaroneck, NY

You can get to those returns on <A HREF="http://www.ancestry.com/">Ancestry.com - Genealogy and Family History Records</A> and <A HREF="http://www.genealogy.com/index_n.html">Genealogy.com - Family Tree Maker Family History Software and Historical Records</A> (both charge you for access to the images, but you can search them for free). You can subscribe yourself or go to your nearest LDS Family History Library for free access to the images. Many local civic libraries also offer free access to Ancestry Plus. Get yourself a genealogy program so you can keep track of the information you retrieve. You can download the Personal Ancestral File (PAF) free on <A HREF="www.familysearch.org"> www.familysearch.org</A> (also look on this site for your nearest local Family History Center). There are also some great tutorials at that site for beginning genealogists. You can also buy such programs at computer stores or from several genealogy sites on-line. Welcome to the club, you will find it terribly habit forming. Alan Its a dry heat!

Joseph O�Dowd began by delivering milk in 1904. The sizable operation later included a Dairy Bar which became a town favorite. The O�Dowd store, which sold milk, ice cream, butter and eggs, was in operation till 1981. Their slogan was �The Dairy Store with More�. They were open seven days a week 8 am to 10 pm. The O�Dowd family will be presenting mementos, souvenirs and lots of photos. Come share in the memories of O�Dowd�s of Pine Brook.

I am trying to learn more of Abigail WILLIAMS. We know she was in Elbridge (formerly Camillus), Onondaga County, New York in 1800 - 1806 then was in Brutus (later Sennett), Cayuga County, New York. We have no birth, marriage or death dates. She was married to Hezekiah from Morristown, Morris County, New Jersey; he died in 1812 in Brutus. Would appreciate help of any kind.

Hello list. I was just messing around a bit on the NJ GenWeb and found my GG Grandfather on the Chester Congregational Church cemetery page. Is there any one else on this list who might have connections to my Barkers? Also, the William H. was married to Sarah Ammerman, who does not seem to be in the same cemetery. Would love to hear from anyone with information. (Of, course I will share what I have as well!) Cheers, Joel Newport Surnames: Ammerman/Andrews/Barker/Cook/Laudahn/Newport

Does anyone have info on the list of the graves were moved from the Flanders Methodist Churchyard? Were there nore than those moved to Pleasant Hill Cemetery on Rt 10? Are there remaining stones in the basement. Mr Nickolas did have a list but it was short. I am still searching for catherine hopkins d/o Hez and Eliz munro Hopkins. Thet are buried in the Cong churchyard in Chester. Any help would be appreciated. Jean

The buttons are about the size of a quarter or smaller, there are 3 buttons. The one with the 5 in it has a glass over it , did the best for the condition they were in. Don't know where or when they were taken or who the photographer was. They belonged to my sister-in-law , she is 75 and don't know who the people are. She had them in the pray box that they had been in for many years. They were given to her oldest daughter, they are still in the family and I had taken photos so we now have copys of the tin type photos in case they get harder to see and enjoy. My guess they were my sister-in-law and my husband's grandmother -mother and her brothers and sisters. The family came to the US in 1855 from Ireland, they were as following : JAMES QUINN - b: 1815- Ireland, ANN ? QUINN - b: 1818 -Ireland - wife JAMES QUINN - b: 1844 - Ireland - son JOHN QUINN - b: 1846 - Ireland - son JULIA QUINN - b: 1848 - Ireland - daughter ( our link to the family ) married in the US to JOHN GARR from England CATHERINE QUINN - b: 1852 - Ireland - daughter ELLEN QUINN - b: 1856 - N.J .ANN QUINN - b: 1858 - N.J. The family had lived in 1860's in Morris Co. Rockaway Tws. New Jersey. Because of what I have learned about the family, I believe the 5 could be JULIA QUINN brothers and sisters, and I think one of single ladies could be JULIA QUINN's, Mother , ANN, and maybe the other single could be JULIA herself. I don't know if this is who these people are or not, but the family would not have keep photos of non-family, by things I have found out about the family, they didn't hold on to things. JULIA QUINN married JOHN GARR who was from England, one of their daughters KATHERINE GARR had married GEORGE HEDGES and their son JOHN HEDGES was my husbands father. Can see the tin type photos on - www.Ancientfaces.com go to Mystery - photos - pick surname "Q" or go to location "N" You don't have to subscribe to see these photos. (OOPS , This is the corrected web page I had left out the "s" on the word faces) If one know anything about them would you let me know. Thanks and enjoy Betty
