Monmouth County Resources and Lookup Volunteers

Guidelines when requesting a look-up:

• Put MONMOUTH LOOKUP in caps in subject of message. This will ensure that your request is not accidentally overlooked or deleted.
• Put name of book or place you are requesting the lookup from in the first line of the message. Many volunteers help with more than one and need to know what you are looking for to help you successsfully.
• Limit your request to 1 or 2 specific names. Asking for ALL the marriages on a surname of Brown or Jones or Smith will probably be ignored or request denied.
• Remember that the Resource person is a volunteer, and is doing you a favor.

FITZ-RANDOLPH
From: Longstreet Rhymes, jonnola@ix.netcom.com, 10/23/96
Would appreciate information about Hannah FITZ-RANDOLPH (1761-1837) who
married William LONGSTREET (1759-1814) in 1784 and moved to South Carolina.

LONGSTREET - LANGESTRAET
From: Longstreet Rhymes, jonnola@ix.netcom.com, 10/23/96
I'm confused about the children of Dirck Stoffels Langestraet (1640-1690)
