Susan: It is possible your great aunt and uncle died intestate. There would still be administrator(s) appointed to handle the estates. If there were assets left after all bills were paid, family members would inherit the remainder of the estate. If land was involved, there may be records of a Petition for Partition, which means family members had to go to court and prove their relationship to the deceased before the land could be divided or sold. I am basing this last thought on research in earlier NJ records. If I am incorrect on any aspect of this, I hope someone will "jump in" and help.

Dick, Here's the scope. You will not find anything in the immediate area. When we go up we usually stay in Stroudsburg PA and drive over to NJ. There is a small Days Stop in Columbia at RT 94 and I-80. In NJ, there is a Holiday Motel in Andover on RT 206 just outside of Springdale. Stay away from the other motel in Newton, it used to be called "Feyer's Country Inn." There is a B & B on Goodale Road, "The Duck Inn." Haven't stayed there but it is almost next door to the area where my GGmother lived at one time. /That house is now gone. (trivia for you). There is a new Days Inn in McAfee, but it is quite a drive. The next closest area is Ledgewood Circle where there is a Days Inn or a Quality Inn, but as I recall it was pricey and not that great. It is on RT 46. Then you get over to the Lake Mohawk area where you will find a Sheraton. Also pricey, but your paying for the location. In Stroudsburg we stay at the Best Western. Nothing to write home about, except it is cheap. $50 a night with a Traveler's Advantage membership and that was during ski season. There is a new Hampton Inn in Stroudsburg, and I'm certain that is where we will stay next time. Stay away from the Ramada, it is a dump. If you stay in PA you will pay $1.00 to get to PA from Jersey, but not to get to Jersey from PA. Also, the Delaware Water Gap is nice to see. Should you stay in PA you will take I-80 east to Rt. 94. Then take 94 right into Blairstown. There you will find the Blairstown Diner. Good breakfast for the money. Just down the street is the road (on left) to Stillwater. Look up Mrs. Elsie Roof, she is now the street from the General Store/Post Office/Deli. What a wonderful lady with great insight, and one of the oldest residence in Stillwater. She is also on the historical committee for the church. I have relatives buried in Stillwater Cem. (Grover, Gruver, Gruber, South, Wintermute, Emery, etc.) Call if I can help with anything. My home toll free # is 800-219-9986. Rick Lane Vero Beach, FL (don't we all end up here!) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard C.

Can somehow explain to me about how New Jersey handles wills. I have a great aunt that died in Sussex County and I know she left a will because my mother inherited from her. I called Sussex Co. and was told they have no will for her. She also had a home in Elizabeth, Union Co., NJ and I called that county as well and they also have no copy of a will for her. Her husband died before her in Sussex Co. and I was told he has no will but there was an administrator listed for him which is very confusing to me. Is there any way I can find a copy of their wills?
