First, genealogists will be glad to see the posting of our index to the state's marriage records, 1848-1867, at the following URL: http://www.njarchives.org/links/marriagedb1867.html While the state search engine is slow at present, we are working to acquire the technical resources needed to improve search response time. Meanwhile, we are excited to make the information readily accessible through the site. (You just might want to get up in between searches and stretch a bit during your online genealogy sessions!) I would like to acknowledge the following Archives staff for their major efforts to post this data: Vivian Thiele, for her database development work; Cheri Wortmann, in particular, along with Edna Velez, Sarah Boyer and Laurice Niceler, for countless hours of data entry over a period of several years; Sean Curry for his past contributions to developing the database; and Veronica Calder and Lois Bredlow for their html work. Secondly, historians and educators will be interested to see that we have also posted images and transcriptions of the original (signed) New Jersey state constitutions of 1844 and 1947, linked from the following page: http://www.njarchives.org/links/constitution.html Kudos to website geniuses Veronica Calder and Lois Bredlow, scanning mavens Joanne Nestor, John Chepega and Dan Noonan, and adjunct proofreader Ellen Callahan, for their concerted and most excellent work to create these beatiful pages!
