Researching New Jersey Revolutionary and Civil War Records – Webinar

Military records are a fantastic source for genealogical information and can often include information not found anywhere else, such as signatures. New Jersey has a wealth of military service records especially for those interested in Revolutionary and Civil War ancestors. Regina Fitzpatrick, Genealogy Librarian at the New Jersey State Library, will review useful primary record collections, both State and Federal, available at the New Jersey State Archives and National Archives, plus supporting secondary materials available at the New Jersey State Library.

Regina Fitzpatrick is Genealogy Librarian at the NJ State Library. In addition to the Genealogy Collection, a non-circulating 18,000 plus item collection, she also oversees the Map and Atlas Collection, and the New Jersey State Library Archives collection. Prior to working at the Library, Regina worked for the New Jersey State Archives, where she became an expert on New Jersey Genealogical Collections, including Revolutionary and Civil War military collections, and helping to conduct family history research. At the State Library, Regina currently provides general Reference Services, in addition to specific Genealogy assistance, and teaches classes on conducting New Jersey Genealogy research.
