Cemetery Research in Genealogy: Mark A. J. Szep
Throughout a person’s life they leave a trail of records behind including when they die. These records can be an invaluable resource to the genealogist trying to discover new information on their ancestors. This lecture will explore New Jersey death and burial records with a focus on what records are available, where to find the records and how to analyze the information they contain.
Mark A. J. Szep is from Bloomfield, NJ. A professional genealogist (www.DiscoverURhistory.com), he is a member of Association of Professional Genealogists, GSNJ, NGS and a member of the Bloomfield Twp Historical Preservation Commission. His areas of interest include Eastern Europe, Germany, Ireland, and New York and New Jersey. |
