At this site you will find information that will assist you in your genealogical research. All comments, questions, suggestions and criticisms are welcome. Volunteers are also needed to do lookups in books that they may have or have access to about Essex County.
Please be aware that the site coordinator is not able to perform individual research. The site coordinator is responsible for posting information on this site. However, if you have a question as to what direction to take, please email me and I will try to point you in the right direction.
Many of you have already contacted me about problems with the site. Or items to be added. Please know that I have all your suggestions and will get to them and post them when I start working on the corresponding sections of the website. This site is huge already so please be patient while I work my way through it all.
