Central Jersey Genealogical Club

Central Jersey Genealogical Club CJGC was an organization of genealogy hobbyists researching their family history. It was closed at the end of 2025.

For the near future, we have decided to maintain this page and continue posting genealogy-related information and events. The Central Jersey Genealogical Club formed in 1994. At the end of 2025, the Club dissolved and no longer operates. However, this page will be maintained for the immediate future to continue to inform fellow genealogists about genealogy events, primarily in th

e New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania areas. Additionally, information on FREE webinars or other educational opportunities will be posted. Pretty much anything that was posted before, except for CJGC events, will continue to be posted.

Over 30 years ago Jim Tipton started Find a Grave as a site for "noteworthy gravesites". Over the years, people started mailing their own photos, and the site gradually began to expand into what we know it as today. We recently met up with Jim to talk about the creation of Find a Grave and the community that blossomed from it. You can read our talk with him at our blog here: https://news.findagrave.com/2026/05/18/back-to-the-beginnings/

I'm trying to research John & Mary Stewart. I've lost them somewhere in Tennessee between 1797 (in Virginia) and 1821 (in Ohio). Hopefully, I can get some useful tips in these articles. I'm getting frustrated - again!

Tips for Searching Common Surnames:

If you have a John or Mary Smith, or a Thomas or Ann Jones in your family tree, how do you know it's the right person?

This article by Amy Johnson Crow (https://www.amyjohnsoncrow.com/researching-ancestor-common-name/) and this one by James Tanner (http://ldsgenealogy.com/Finding-Ancestors-with-Common-Names-in-Your-Family-Tree.htm) provide some helpful tips for sorting through identical names and seeing additional clues in records, including locations, friends and neighbors, and search radius.

See Goal 6 in Project 4: Discover (https://www.thefhguide.com/project-4-discover06.html ) for additional online search tips.
