Mitsawokett: New Jersey death certificates

Most of the following death certificates were photographed at the NJ Archives in 1.5 weeks, April 2006. We have to limit our stays at the Archives because of the cost of motels and our stamina to sit in front of microfilm readers for 7 hours or so each day.

The images are sometimes of poor quality because of a combination of the poor quality of the image on the microfilm and the distortion introduced by the digital camera. Good quality Xerox images may be purchased at the Archives for 50 cents, again limited by the microfilm image.

We have yet to search for Mosleys, Ridgeways, Sammons and other frequently encountered Mitsawokett names missing from the following list.

Linking of images to file names by Joseph Romeo 18 May 2006.

The New Jersey Achives has death certificates up to 1940 only. The staff told us that lack of funding prevents later years from being made available in the reading room to the general public.

The Patriot Act may in the future prevent ANY access to vital records by genealogists not directly descended from the individual whose record is being sought.
