The new data can be searched, along with the previously posted 1848-1868 marriage index, at the following URL: https://wwwnet1.state.nj.us/DOS/Admin/ArchivesDBPortal/Marriage1867.aspx The index now contains roughly 147,000 entries. Order forms for copies of these records can be generated directly from the database. The State Archives "Searchable Databases" site provides online access to over 550,000 index entries from various collections including birth, marriage and death records, colonial land records, court cases, and so on. For more information, check out the databases page here: http://www.njarchives.org/links/databases.html Kudos to Cheri Wortmann for her incredible data-entry feat, and to Vivian Thiele for making the new marriage index accessible online. Please feel free to forward this posting to any other genealogy, history or archives lists as appropriate. With best regards, Joseph R. Klett Deputy Director for Archives NJ Division of Archives & Records Management
