Finding burial records in Mountain Lakes

  • Death records for Mountain Lakes. Copies of New Jersey vital records can be ordered from the state or from the local vital records office, so ask the Mountain Lakes municipal clerk where its local registrar is. Deaths from May 1848 through 1950 are at the New Jersey State Archives, and newer ones at the New Jersey Department of Health's Office of Vital Statistics and Registry in Trenton.
  • Cemetery records. Ask the cemetery's office, the church that runs it, or the Mountain Lakes municipal clerk. Many cemeteries are run by churches or cemetery associations rather than the municipality.
  • Old newspapers and state censuses. The New Jersey State Archives has more than 8,000 reels of New Jersey newspapers, which carry death notices and obituaries, and New Jersey state censuses from 1855 to 1915 can help narrow down when a family lived in Mountain Lakes.
  • Local historical society. Historical societies often hold gravestone transcriptions, cemetery surveys and family files. The New Jersey State Library and the New Jersey State Archives in Trenton are good statewide sources.
  • Morris County wills and deeds. Wills and estates are handled by the Morris County Surrogate. The New Jersey State Archives holds original wills from 1670 to 1900, but Morris County's surrogate record books were not microfilmed, so ask the county for them. Deeds are recorded by the Morris County Clerk, and the State Archives has microfilm of all county deeds up to 1900.
  • FamilySearch. The free FamilySearch site has indexed New Jersey vital records and town records that can confirm a death date before you visit.
