While researching my ggrandparents, William and Adaline Crotsley, I found they had lived in Firthtown, NJ. I can't find Firthtown on any map, even the old ones. Does anyone know what happened to it and how I can find the census for 1840-50-60-70----
I believe it was in Hunterdon or Warren Co. as I found other Crotsley's in both places.

I agree, that is the best web site. I have gone through every year and can
hardly wait to see the next
year. http://home.att.net/~dennis.sutton/News/paperhistory.htm
I found it very easy to go and search. All you do is go to edit, select
find, and enter a name and press enter and it will bring you to the first
listing of the name you entered. If your name is not listed it will say
"Search String Not Found". That means your name is not listed in the
page. I have read all the years listed and it

I want to thank all of you who have expressed their thanks for the
Tidbits. I enjoy putting them out there for all to see. I stop and think
of who we have changed through the years and to see that people were
interested in who was visiting and what children were home from school
visiting their parents. These days we don't even know our own neighbors
let alone most of a town. But you never know what might turn up and whose
name you might see that might help someone.

Does the New Jersey tax payers list any REED's for those periods. I am

unable to find him between the time he was married in Maidenhead, Hunterdon
Co., NY. married in 1782. after that we can't find him.
Thanks much if you can help.
Does NJ have any very early 1800's newspaper clippings? Also are you aware
of any German newspapers in the area, which might cover up to 1850's?
Thanks,

Hi;

Your post was a great one hope you have had lots of response!
That Catherin Fulper, who married Atley in 1800 seems to be a real
mystrey.
One response that was of real intrest to me was the one for William
Phulper. The time frame seems to be one that might fit in with Jacob
Fulper and Catherine Hoppock Fulper of Amwell. Wonder where this
informaton came from. If the spelling has been incorrect, there could
be others, and this co
