Finding burial records in Newark
- Death records for Newark. Copies of New Jersey vital records can be ordered from the state or from the local vital records office, so ask the Newark 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 Newark 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 Newark.
- 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.
- Essex County wills and deeds. Wills and estates are handled by the Essex County Surrogate. The New Jersey State Archives holds original wills from 1670 to 1900 and microfilm of most county surrogate records up to 1900. Deeds are recorded by the Essex County Register of Deeds and Mortgages in Newark, which has a copy of every deed recorded in the county since 1637.
