I would like to invite you to visit our website which is called The POORHOUSE STORY (a clearinghouse for information about 19th century American Poorhouses) at http://www.poorhousestory.com We have just posted information about links to MORRIS County poorhouse history and records which can be found on the county GenWeb pages. [Thanks to Brianne Kelly-Bly, WebCoordinator - NJGenWeb - Morris County, who e-mailed us a heads-up about the information.] If you have never visited The POORHOUSE STORY ... DIRECTIONS: after you get to the homepage (link above)click on POORHOUSES BY STATE, then on OTHER STATES, then on NEW JERSEY on the table of states. (If you have visited the site recently, you may need to click REFRESH on your browser in order to see the new material.) There are other pages which may help you gain a better understanding of poorhouses. Off the homepage you will find links to the HISTORY page and the LETTER TO GENEALOGISTS. You might also enjoy visiting the state pages for your neighboring states to see what material we have on their poorhouses. Pennsylvania http://www.poorhousestory.com/poorhouses_in_pennsylvania.htm Maryland http://www.poorhousestory.com/poorhouses_in_maryland.htm Delaware http://www.poorhousestory.com/poorhouses_in_delaware.htm New York http://www.poorhousestory.com/new_york_poorhouses.htm You will notice that we do not yet have very much information about NJ. This site will only grow through the contributions of readers like yourself who can share their personal experiences or their knowledge of sources of information about New Jersey poorhouses. Hope you enjoy the site! Linda Crannell (aka=The poorhouse Lady)
