A New Jersey Biographical Index Covering some 100,000 Biographies and Associated Portraits in 237 New Jersey Cyclopedias, Histories, Yearbooks, Periodicals, and Other Collective Biographical Sources Published to About 1980
Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1993. Hardcover. Quarto. 859 pp. The 100,000 biographies recorded by the author were extracted from 2,000 volumes scattered among collective sources -- not single-volume biographies. A very important New Jersey biography reference work and tool for genealogists given the connection between biography and family history and given that 237 sources contain not only biographies but genealogical sketches. The subject of each entry in the Index is identified by full name and years of birth and death. Following the subject's name, biography is cited in abbreviated form, the publication in which it appears, with volume and page numbers, designated by a code which is displayed with the list of sources at the front of the book. A meticulously researched and presented reference work. Fine. Item #511254
