    3. Hi All There is still time to sign up for Wednesday, May 3, the second lecture in the Exploring Your Jersey Roots III lecture series. "Using the Records of the East and West Jersey Proprietors" will be presented by Joseph R. Klett, Chief of the NJ State Archives (and also Vice-President of GSNJ, might I add?!) Call 609-984-3297 to register for the lecture or for more information. Payment can be made by credit card (or you can arrange to pay at the door.) You can also get more information on this lecture and the rest of the series on our website: www.gsnj.org --- Topic Info: Mr. Klett's presentation will delve into the records of the East and West Jersey Proprietors now available to the public at the State Archives. He will discuss the process of land distribution in the proprietary colony, explain what records and publications are available, and report on recent indexing and accessioning development. The presentation will conclude with several case studies from Mr. Klett's own genealogical research into proprietary records. --- I know I'm looking forward to hearing about all the "new" proprietor's records that were deposited with the Archives recently. Hope to see you all there! (And for those who have asked me about buying copies of the syllabus - we'll try to post something towards the end of the lecture series once we get the details sorted out.) Regards, Joan Joan M.
