New Jersey’s Census covers all census between 1800-1920. There are some known problems with the AISI indices that Ancestry and others use as a basis for their census:

  • 1830 index shows Atlantic for Bergen County entries.
  • 1850 index doesn’t include the township of Winslow, Camden County.
  • 1860 index excludes parts of Middlesex County.

1800

Cumberland County New Jersey is the only New Jersey county appearing within the 1800 census.
