Can someone give me a place to research in NJ for German Lutheran and Baptist Church records from 1780-1850. I will be in NJ in June and would like to make the best use of my time. I am looking for marriage, baptism and death records for the following Middlesex Co. residents:

Ralph R. Conover b. 1811,m.abt. 1834 to Ellen/Elnor Snedeker
Samuel Conover b. 1811 ( may be twin of Ralph R.)
William Conover b. Sept. ,1816 ,m. abt. 1837 to Catherine Warth
Albert Conover
Alfred Conover
Dorothea Warth b. Switzerland , came to America in 1833-34
Thank you.

Hello, Marie-

I can help point you in the right direction, but are you interested in those churches statewide (lotsa work!!) or just in the Middlesex Co. area (pretty easy)? Also, have you been in touch w/ any of my Snedeker cousins regarding Ralph/Rafe & Ellen/Elnor? (Her brother, Kenneth, is my 3g Grandfather.) Cousin Shirley alerted me re: your msg., and if she hasn't already told you, at least one of our crew has been researching the Conover side of the family, so some of the info you're seeking may be readily available.

Look forward to hearing fm you.

Regards,
Dick in Princeton, NJ

I'm still interested in any documentation that would give me a marriage record for Ellen/ Elnore Snedeker Conover and her husband Rafe/ Ralph R. Conover of Middlesex Co., New Jersey ( Snedeker book lists 1834 but no place or proof) and his brother William Conover,( Conover family record has 1837 but no place or proof), and a Conover set of parents and siblings. The only other sibling I've documented is Samuel S Conover who is either Ralph's twin or born within 1811 as was Ralph R.. The Vigo County, Indiana Library has 2 original deeds that were Ralph's for 2 pieces of property that were purchased between 1836 and 1838 in Newark, New Jersey, the last home in NJ of Ralph and Elnore before the final move to Terre Haute, Vigo Co., Indiana in 1838/39. I want to thank all the Snedekers who have helped me with this search. Marie
