Cumberland CO. Vital Statistics
Originally these databases were meant to cover Millville, NJ, with
the inclusion of items from other municipalities which were in the
various sources. Starting in 1974, however, the coverage was extended
to include as completely as possible the remainder of Cumberland
County and some of the bordering communities in Salem, Atlantic and
Cape May counties. Sources include the Millville extracts from the
1920 and 1930 US censuses, The Millville Daily Republican [MDR] (later
The Millville Daily [MD] and The Daily Journal [DJ]), The Vineland
Times Journal [VTJ], The
Reminder, the Jack S. Kelley compilations, Millville Deaths, and
several other sources. Newspapers.com includes the Millville (from
March 1923- ) and Vineland newspapers in easily searchable form. Not
consulted were the newspaper files from Bridgeton. Used as reference
materials were the Millville city directories and the Millville High
School yearbooks.
In addition to incorrect information in the source
material--especially those before 1900--typographical errors
inevitably occur in data entry, which in this case was entirely by
hand; there are also numerous duplicate entries. Much as one tries to
eliminate incorrect information it will always be a problem. If you
find an error or questionable information, there are scans and
photocopies of the Kelley compilations and the monthly vital
statistics lists from the Millville papers at the Reference Desk of
the Millville Public Library, as well as copies in the Millville
Historical Society.
