The papers of Charles Carroll Gardner, a noted New Jersey genealogist.
They are composed of 50+ rolls of microfilmed data ( available at the
FHC).
Much of the work is hand-written, and difficult to read.

But - they contain an amazing amount of data on early NJ families. These
records are from both church and civil sources. There is
also an index of sorts (by individual name) to locations of records.

The later works are loosely alphabetized, and occasionally type-written.

There are other compilations of records, also available at the FHC. The
DAR
collection is 100+ reels of microfilm - all contain church, civil, bible
records
from all over New Jersey - and often include newspaper extracts,
cemetery lists,
wills and estates, - a miscellany of records.

The Stockton Collection - 44 reels - contains more than a thousand
"folders"
of information on early NJ families.

The Gilbert Cope collection - more than 70 films - of Quaker familes of
NJ and Philadelphia.

There are a few more, but I don't have the particulars here at home.
Look
in the FHL cd - under New Jersey - Genealogy.
