An early NJ source that has been helpful to me has been an article in the Genealogical Society of New Jersey's magazine, vol. 33, Jan/April, Numbers 1/2, **1958** article:"The Janeway Account Books 1735-1746" by Kenn Stryer-Rodda. The Janeway Account Books are for a businessman whose last name was Janeway whose book of accounts from the mid-1700's still exist. The account books were for the locals of Somerset County, NJ but if your family was "old New Jersey" (as mine is) you might find that your Sussex County family began in Somerset County, only a couple counties away. Sorry, but I don't do Look-Ups from this magazine first of all, because all I have is a copy of the Janeway Account books article, and then because it is laid out in such a way that there is a primary name and then there are other names that connected with the primary name which are not alphabetized. You can simply write Dorothy Stratford c/o the Genealogical Society of New Jersey-- or simply the Genealogical Society of New Jersey-- and ask for a copy of the article (at least that's what I did. Be sure to send a self-addressed, stamped envelope). I'd try Dorothy first; I noticed that the GSNJ does not list the Janeway article in it's available back-issues. The mailing address for the Genealogical Society of New Jersey is PO Box 1476, Trenton, NJ 08607-1476. Dorothy is the corresponding secretary for the Society. Also, if your ancestor was a Palatine-- which I suspect "John Hough" might be--this book is helpful, "More Palatine Families: Some Immigrants to the Middle Colonies 1717-1776 and their European Origins plus New Discoveries on German Families Who arrives in Colonial New York in 1710" (two books which sometimes can be found as one book) by Henry Z. Jones, Fellow of the American Society of Genealogists, Universal City, CA 1991. If you have a library card, you can get it through Inter-Library loan. At least my library was able to get it for me for three weeks. Also you can get a free copy of the genealogical catalogue of books from Heritage Books and Willowbend Books. Check them online at _http://www.heritagebooks.com/_ (http://www.heritagebooks.com/) Hope this was helpful. I know how frustrating doing research in the early 1800's and 1700's can be!

I found the Janeway Account Books in the Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey, some years ago. For my own research, they were of great interest, in tha,t previous researchers have enthusiasticly decided that my ancestor Cornelius Van Horen of Hunterdon County, the brother of Abraham Van Horne of Whitehouse, was a Captain in the militia. He has become known as Captain Cornelius Van Horne in the Van Horne genealogies and someone also had the title chiseled on a tombstone that apparently replaced the original. I had previously discovered that in none of the documents written while he was living was this title attached to him. Not in his marriage to Hannah Seabrook, not in the estate papers for his half-sister's husband, Alexander Clarke, not in deeds and not in his will did he use this title. In these documents he was always referred to as a yeoman or a miller. The Janeway Accounts were the finishing touch so to speak. Cornelius Van Horne is mentioned from June of 1735 to April of 1745 [the last entry is for his widow], and never once was the title captain applied to his name. His brother Abraham, however, is referred to as an Esquire. Now, I understand there is a commission for a Captain Cornelius Van Horne in the Archives in Albany, but there is nothing in the document to indicate which Cornelius Van Horne the commission was given to. There are at least two Cornelius Van Hornes in the Jan Cornelissen line that actually had military careers. There is no evidence contemporary to the life of Cornelius Van Horen of Hunterdon County that he had any military service whatsoever, let alone served a captain. The originals of the Janeway Accounts are in the Rutgers University Library. The publication of the accounts by Kenn Stryker-Rodda are abstracts of the names in the accounts and not the full text. I have a copy of the pages on which the Van Hornes were mentioned, but can not do look-up, because I do not have an index. Although the names are presented alphabetically, within each name there are references to other people, so you have to study the whole article to find the information on your ancestor. These are very useful documents. I really want to visit Rutgers to see the original. Marleen Van Horne

Hi Sussex group, I have recently had excellent "luck" with Heritage Quest, although I've subscribed to Ancestry.com for several years. Here in Texas we have free access to Heritage Quest through the Texas State Library. I have a login and password and can spend hours at my home computer having a grand time--now if I just had more time, it would be grand! So far I've mainly used the census records and sometimes have used them in conjunction with Ancestry.com and the LDS site, FamilySearch.org. However, my Sussex and Orange Co., NY, roots go further back than the census records so, other than verifying where someone was at certain times, there aren't any census records to help me solve my particular mystery--which is, where did John Hough, who probably died in Wantage around 1830, and his ancestors really come from?

Hi, I would be grateful if you woould look and see if there is a Thomas Harden and wife Jannet mentioned. There was also a Thomas Hardin and wife Effie Roof in NJ, but not related. Thank you, Connie Sorensen

Hi Jim, My LATTA ancestors came from Ireland to Pennsylvania, and then relocated to North Carolina by the late-1700s. There were definitely Lattas from Ulster who were related to us, who either stayed in that area, or moved west. "We" Lattas have a huge database at www.latta.org. I'll check and see if we have the info you provided below. If not, I'm sure that branch of the Lattas would love to have it! We're having an "All Latta Branches Reunion" (of sorts) in July. Are you in touch with any of your distant Latta cousins? Thanks for writing!

I live in New York State and they issued one to me. I paid 25 dollars. Although i do live in Orange County which is adjacent to Sussex County. However, i do not recall any restrictions on whom can get a card if they do not live in the SCL's coverage area...which is the whole county excluding Sparta Twp. Perhaps someone on this list may know if there were any restrictions on what out-of-county residents can and cannot get a card. However, you might have to go in person to get the card...because i know i had to show my driver license., That might hinder you if you live in California....unless they will accept a copy. My suggestion would be to go on the website www.sussexcountylibrary.org and see what the requirements are...or just call down to the Main Library in Frankford Twp...they will be able to help.

*I mostly used HeritageQuest to access census images that originally were not* *indexed on Ancestry...However, Ancestry has pretty much indexed all census images now. I know HeritageQuest does have other services including some histories....i do not utilize them often...but later i can check to see what they have on the Minisink area.* *Also a note to anyone with a Sussex County Library Card.....you can access HeritageQuest via the Sussex County Library site www.sussexcountylibrary.org <http://www.sussexcountylibrary.org> and click on databases. Even if you live outside of Sussex County, or in Sparta Twp. (which for some reason is not part of the county library) you can still get an SCL card for a fee of 25.00 a year which gives you the same access to the Main Library and branches as if you were a resident. And judging by the extreme costs of ancestry.com subscriptions 25 bucks a year isnt all that bad if it gives you access to HeritageQuest.* *Jim Booth Highland Mills, Orange County, NY* Helen Graves wrote: >Re: access to Minisink history books and CDs on-line via paid subscriptions > >Ancestry.com vs. Heritage Quest >Ancestry.com vs. genealogy.com > >I do not have access to Heritage Quest, so I do not know if they offer access to history books, published family histories, or CDs.

Are you a member of the Sussex county library? Their system has heritage quest and county residents can use it free on line. http://www.sussexcountylibrary.org/ They have the Complete set of U.S. Federal Census records from 1790-1930 and over 25,000 family and local histories. You can also search books-collection supposedly has 25,000 family histories, and there is Civil War information. As for Ancestry.com-most of their data bases are free so you can search without being a member. other data bases you have to join to access (personally I have been a member for a long time -only one I pay for now-and found the free data the best-I just never seem to find anything in the ones I pay for-go figure). I don't see a need to join genealogy.com. There are so many people on the web who will do free look-ups at libraries and share info in their books, and lots of websites where the info is freely shared on line. Just my humble opinion.

Bob, No need to reply to my question. An answer was already posted to NJSussec and in the meantime, I went to the Sussex Co NJ Library website and checked it out. Yes, for $25 a year, this out of state resident can purchase a Sussex Co NJ library card and gain access to Heritage Quest. Now, that is a bargain ... and from lookling at the library website, it looks pretty easy to do. Not a lot of graphics to clutter it up, no links to follow, just click on the right spot ... Is it really that easy using the Sussex Co NJ Library website? Helen Graves

Birth date, place, marriage, spouse. Both my parents are dead so I am a little stymied . I know the Roe Family goes back well into the 1700's. Most of them lived in and around Sussex, Branchville, and Sussex County. Theodore was also know as Dorie. He was a assemblymen or representative of his county to Trenton. His Wife was Margrite (don't think I have spelled that right) Dennis. They adopted a small boy, my father, about 1918-1920. His name was Arthur Howell and they changed it to Edward Howell Roe.

His Wife was Margrite (don't think I have spelled that right) Dennis. They adopted a small boy, my father, about 1918-1920. His name was Arthur Howell and they changed it to Edward Howell Roe. > > Any info would be appreciated. Where do I look now ? > > Cathe > [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> > >

Re: access to Minisink history books and CDs on-line via paid subscriptions Ancestry.com vs. Heritage Quest Ancestry.com vs. genealogy.com I do not have access to Heritage Quest, so I do not know if they offer access to history books, published family histories, or CDs. Do they? If so, what is the annual cost... and how does it compare to Ancestry.com? The cost to subscribe to Ancestry.com's history and family history section is $79.95/year. It is also offered by the quarter if you want it for only 3 months. Ancestry.com vs. genealogy.com I checked out the books and CD's accessible by a subscription to ancestry.com vs. genealogy.com library section. It seems ancestry.com offers more references for Minisink research than genealogy.com does. Comparing titles of books and CDs, the lists are not the same, so you might find specific titles available only on genealogy.com, which might make it very worthwhile. My primary question to the list is ... how does Heritage Quest compare to Ancestry.com ?? as I have no access to Heritage Quest to compare them.
