This page initially was started to house links that I found that pertained primarily to Morris County, I have now expanded it to include other links that you may find useful in you search for your ancestors who didn't stay in Morris County.

Links found on this page does not mean that I necessarily endorse them, they are here for information and convenience only. You must decide for yourself what the value of these links are to you.

I try to verify that all links are operational. If you discover that a link is no longer working, please let me know and I will either delete it or correct it.

The following are some links that you might find useful in your research. [Don't forget to check out NJGenWeb for surrounding counties! Ancestors didn't always stay in the same place.]
