Welcome! My name is Regina, I'm the Genealogy Librarian at the New Jersey State Library. Researching your family history can be a lot of fun, but it can also be hard work and overwhelming, especially when you're just starting out. My goal is to make you feel comfortable and confident in understanding the resources available to you here at the Library, and also at the State Archives and other New Jersey Repositories!
Looking for what you can do from home? See the Genealogy in Quarantine document. Do you have suggestions to add? I'm looking for digital online collections and indexes, upcoming free classes online, or outdoor or at-home volunteer opportunities. Please contact me! No commercial advertisements or general link sites, please.
