Dear List Members I'm forwarding a message from Joseph K. Klett, Chief of the New Jersey State Archives about the ongoing lecture series being presented on Wednesday evenings through November 5. I hope you'll consider joining us for one or more lecture - as they promise to be interesting and educational! Thank you Joan M. Lowry Joan M.

Archivist Ellen Callahan opened the "Exploring Your Jersey Roots" series with an overview of the Archives' holdings for family history research. We heard a lot of positive feedback and enthusiasm, and are very pleased to co-sponsor this lecture series with the Genealogical Society of New Jersey. The second lecture will be held next Wednesday, 9/17, in the State Archives' Manuscript Reading Room starting at 6:30 p.m. Catherine Stearns Medich, Reference Archivist, will present "Military Records at the New Jersey State Archives." The lecture will provide in-depth information relating to archival sources for military service in New Jersey from the colonial period to the early twentieth century. There are still spaces available for the 9/17 lecture. Also, a reminder that the Archives' Microfilm Reading Room will have extended public hours to 6:00 p.m. that evening. Free public parking is available in the State House Garage until 5:00 p.m. and behind the State Archives Building, 225 West State Street, after 3:30 p.m. Registration for the "Exploring Your Jersey Roots" series is $8 per lecture. Payment is made to the Genealogical Society of New Jersey. To register, or for more information, contact C. Arthur Lawton III, 203 West Upper Ferry Road, Trenton, NJ 08628-2719, tel. 609-777-3704, e-mail: art.lawton@att.net Please note that registration is limited due to space considerations.
