Public Libraries, Genealogical &
Historical Societies
Appointments may be required for extensive record searches.
You may want to contact the libraries before making plans to visit or search
archival records. I also recommend making an appointment with the local
historical society or museum for the town or area you are researching.
This will help centralize your research better.

{Note: I recommend making this your first stop in
your Cape May County Genealogical research. Their library collection of
local families & information is more than what the County Library has. So
much information can be found here by looking through their collection of books,
however you need to pay them a visit and you must call in advance to be sure the
library is open.}
