You are brave, Barb! Its such a wonderful resource, and so many of us can find our roots in it. I have access to it at my geneological library (well, the one near me) in Middletown, CT, so I won't ask you for help with it. When I find my information in it, though, what is the history of the accuracty of that information? I am assuming that the quarterly spent considerable time trying to compile information from Somerset county municipal and church records, land, etc. Is it considered a good resource? New at geneology, do I consider it a "primary source" or is is secondary? In otherwords, have I viewed the baptismal records or do I still need to verify what I find in these volumes with the original source to be certain and to give skeptical relatives better proof? My sense is, if its in the Quarterly, it, well, that's it. How is this kind of resource considred? Cheryl L.
