[Genealib] New Jersey State Census date for 1895

[Paula Manzella]

Hi,

  According to "State Census Records" by Ann Lainhart, the following were
in the state census:  
Name, sex, race, age in categories of under 5, 5-20, 20-60, and over 60,
and native or foreign-born (Irish, German, and other).  All counties were
enumerated and copies are available for the entire state.  

  As far as long-distance access, you can search/view the 1985 enumeration
sheets on Ancestry (whichever version you have access to). It is called
"New Jersey Census, 1895" and seems to be fairly complete as far as
indexing.  Most all of the NJ State census are available on microfilm.  We
have copies of Burlington and other local counties, but not the counties in
North Jersey.  If you want to use actual microfilm (rather than Ancestry),
you should try ILL to see if the NJ State Archives or another library will
lend the actual reels.

Hope this helps and Happy Holidays to all,
