Pubisher's Synopsys of the 2004 reprint edition by Clearfield Publishing.
This much-anticipated consolidation brings together all of the compiled material (genealogies, biographies, etc.) and Bible records published in the Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey, the Genealogical Society of New Jersey's celebrated periodical, from its first issue in 1925 through the end of Volume 65. Under the direction of the Board of the Society, Genealogical Publishing Company assembled the various articles into two massive volumes, each numbering over 1,000 pages, and produced the name indexes containing over 70,000 names! Among other things, the researcher will find special chapters on old New Netherland families, several hundred sketches on New Jersey families with surnames from Aalje through Antram compiled by Charles C. Gardner for his short-lived "Genealogical Dictionary of New Jersey," and scores upon scores of Bible records.
