    1. Re: [NJSUSSEX] List of all Sussex (and Warren) Co. Cemeteries

    3. The LDS Library does have a lot of films of DAR materials from NJ listed in its catalog. I think that one entry in the catalog has over 200 such films on it. Films with Warren County Cemeteries may or may not list the individual cemeteries, but it might be worth taking a look at the list. I think I first stumbled on that particular catalog entry by searching for NJ vital records. I hope you can find a helpful transcription. The DAR library also has its catalog online. Checking that might help, and if you don't find anything definite, you can always try calling them.
