Genealogy Resources
The Msgr. William Noé Field Archives & Special Collections Center features a number of different research options for those who are interested in performing family history research using original and microfilmed nineteenth and early twentieth century sacramental registers from Catholic parishes and various local Catholic cemeteries in the Archdiocese of Newark as it stands today comprising Bergen, Essex, Hudson, and Union Counties. No affiliation with Seton Hall University is necessary to consult the resources.
Information can be obtained either on-site, by appointment, or by remote research request using the form on our Genealogy Research Requests page.
