Dear List Members:

The eighth lecture in the "Exploring Your Jersey Roots" series will be
held Wednesday evening, 10/29, in the State Archives' Manuscript Reading
Room starting at 6:30 p.m. The series is co-sponsored with the
Genealogical Society of New Jersey, and runs Wednesday evenings through
November 5th.

This week's presentation will be given by Archivist Sean A. Curry on the
subject "Court Records at the New Jersey State Archives." Mr. Curry
will provide a detailed review of the Archives' extensive holdings of
judicial records dating from the seventeenth century to the revision of
the state' court system in 1948. This includes records filed at the
state level (Chancery, Supreme, Prerogative courts) and at the county
level (courts of Common Pleas, Oyer & Terminer).

There are still a few spaces available for Wednesday's session. Also, a
reminder that the Archives' Microfilm Reading Room will have extended
public hours to 6:00 p.m. that evening. Free public parking is
