Families of Old Dover
A Series of Booklets

The Research Department at the Ocean County Historical Society, Toms River, is supporting a project of developing a series of books (manuscripts) to preserve genealogical materials and to make the materials more accessible. Initially, the Series will focus on "Families of Old Dover."

The material in the series in not intended to be a documented family tree. The purpose is to collect into a single source, materials related to a single family coming from census records, cemetery records, birth/death records, funeral records, and bible records. Then using some basic analysis, provide connections between the families. The analysis involves things like: uniqueness of name, age consistency when listed in parent records and no other family in area, duplicate name and ages but enumerated next door (or same neighborhood), father or mother listed in family census records, consistant use of middle initial, single tombstones multiple names; and of course, funeral and bible records provide connections.

Copies of printed versions of the books in the series may be obtained from the Research Department, Ocean County Historical Society.

Interested individuals are encouraged to submit corrections and additions for inclusion in the Series. Such material can be submitted to the principal author, Richard Kuntz (kuntz@monmouth.edu) or to the Research Department, Ocean County Historical Society, 26 Hadley Ave., Toms River, NJ 08753.
