>Many of the essays begin with an explanation of the geographical origin or
derivation of the familys surname, with a number of them going back to the
16th or 17th century. The sketches then trace the line forward from the
oldest known ancestor to the principal subject of the essay. This is
followed by a detailed biography of that person, often with his photo, as
well as an enumeration of collateral lines related to the principal
subject. The index at the back of the final volume identifies some 4,800
descendants of the main families listed below, which, in the aggregate,
constitute, arguably, the greatest collection of New Jersey genealogies in
a single place. Aaronson, Abbott, Abeel, Abrams, Ackerson, Ackley, Adams,
Agar, Albright, Alden, Alexander, Allen, Allinson, Anderson, Andrews,
Angell, Antrim, Apgar, Applegate, Armstong, Arrowsmith, Atkinson, Austin,
Bacheller, Bacon, Badgley, Baer, Bailey, Baird, Baker, Baldwin, Ballantine,

Wonderful that there is a listing of the above names. Is there any link to
the remaining names as I'm especially interested in LANTZ - LANCE?.

Thanks
