I assume you're talking about the City of Elizabeth vital statistics office, as the counties don't keep vital statistics (except for some county marriage records from the 1800s). In the more populated areas, it's usually easier to get vital records from the State. This page has a link to the form for obtaining vitals through 1878, along with the phone number for the Bureau of Vital Statistics (Dept. of Health) for later records: http://www.state.nj.us/state/darm/a_access.html Good luck!
