New Jersey Genealogy

This website contains information and records for New Jersey ancestry, family history, and genealogy. Specifically, we provide sources for birth records, death records, marriage records, census records, tax records, court records, and military records. We also provide historical details about different times and people in New Jersey history.

At the turn of the 20th century Cornelius Burnham Harvey edited a large volume titled the Genealogical History of Hudson and Bergen Counties, New Jersey. This manuscript tried to present an anthology for the two counties whose early records were strewn all across New York and New Jersey. For purpose of New Jersey genealogy, I have transcribed the genealogy section of the manuscript separating the biographies from the genealogies and separating the families of Bergen and Hudson County, so as to make a more specific and searchable work, especially useful since the book was not indexed.

Balesville Cemetery

This is an early transcription (1923) of gravestones present in the Balesville Cemetery at the Congregational Christian Church. Many of these stones no longer exist, making this transcription important to genealogists who had family in or near Balesville.

Old Reformed Dutch Cemetery, Lebanon

This cemetery is located on Cherry Street in Lebanon, Hunterdon County, NJ. When the Lebanon Reformed Church burned down, they chose to rebuild on Brunswick Avenue in Lebanon. This transcription comes from the collection of Beulah Gangaware.

Frenchtown Cemetery, Frenchtown

The cemetery is located on Trenton Avenue in Frenchtown, Hunterdon County, NJ. It was started by the Prevost Family in the early 1800s. This transcription comes from the collection of Beulah Gangaware.

Asbury Methodist Episcopal Cemetery

The original Asbury Methodist Church was built in 1796 and then rebuilt in 1913. This cemetery, however, was likely formed prior to the establishment of the church edifice. It is located on Main Street in Asbury, next to the church, Franklin Township.

First Presbyterian Cemetery, Asbury

Located at the end of School Street in Asbury, Franklin Township, Warren County, NJ, this cemetery began as a family or local burial ground before officially becoming the First Presbyterian Church Cemetery around 1868. The earliest recorded burials are from the Creveling family. Beulah Gangware transcribed most of the existing tombstones on September 9, 1938.

Blairstown Cemetery, Blairstown

This cemetery has gone by several names over the years. It’s known as Blair Academy Cemetery, Blair Cemetery, Blairstown Cemetery and Gravel Hill Cemetery. This transcription was created by Beulah Gangaware in 1934 when she inventoried the visible gravestones and do not contain individuals buried past that date.
