Any plans for posting Rapalje marriages from New Jersey? A branch of the family left Long Island late 1600's or early 1700's and settled in Somerset County NJ and in New Brunswick in neighboring Middlesex County. There are some marriages posted on the County websites, alphabetically, but they haven't gotten to "R" yet. Another question: There is a Rapalje from Somerset County whose name is shown frequently as "Derrick or Richard". He died "during the Revolution" and his estate apparently claimed damages from the war, according to the Somerset County Historical Quarterly. Anyone out there seen the will or have any other information about him?
