In addition to the researchers who work
for us at the state capital in Trenton (NJ) and throughout the state,
we have researchers who've had great success tracing many families to
their place of original outside of the United States. We often do
original onsite research in Ireland, the UK, Italy, Poland, etc, and
then end up connecting different branches of a particular family on
both sides of the Atlantic!
