When my mother had a still birth in 1939 in NJ, it was written in a ledger book of the paupers cemetery. That was it.( they just took my mom's child and she never ever saw her son again. She had no idea where they had taken the baby. I would have never found it if a man on line had info cause the NJ turnpike was tearing/digging up an area for construction. Since it was not a live birth, it is not recorded and since it was not a live birth it was not alive so it could not have a death certificate Confusing.

Hi Kathleen,   This is very interesting.  I'm sure that no one in the Kern family (the one fellow who contacted me through Ancestry seems to have disappeared) knew about the infant buried with Jeanetta Lazarus.  How was it determined who this infant body was?  Or was a notation in a ledger found?   Barbara From: "ocalawoods@cfl.rr.com" <ocalawoods@cfl.rr.com> To: nyc-roots@rootsweb.com Cc: Irishcolleen45@aol.com Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2011 7:44 AM Subject: Re: [NYC-ROOTS] death certificate When my mother had a still birth in 1939 in NJ, it was written in a ledger book of the paupers cemetery.  That was it.( they just took my mom's child and she never ever saw her son again.  She had no idea where they had taken the baby.   I would have never found it if a man on line had info cause the NJ turnpike was tearing/digging up an area for construction.
