New Jersey County Locality Guides Project

GSNJ is pleased to announce the County Locality Guides Project.

The County Locality Guides are created by our board members and volunteers to help New Jersey researchers with firsthand knowledge by supplying solid references for each of the New Jersey counties from those who use New Jersey resources on a daily basis.

The downloadable County Locality Guides will be provided to all New Jersey Researchers FREE of charge. Guides will be added to the website as they are completed.

GSNJ is looking for volunteers to create guides for each of the 21 counties. Research skills and a knowledge of New Jersey genealogy is necessary. A guide template will be provided. Interested volunteers should email volunteers@gsnj.org with your name and county of interest.
