I wish mine had stayed close to one location!!! Mine are scattered from here to kingdom come :O<br />
I would imagine it would be a whole lot easier to search through records had they stayed put!<br />
I too am descended from some of the earliest settlers in the Northeast....... the Cosper of Morris County, NJ, the WEEKS of Oyster Bay, NY, the WHITE, CURTIS, ELLIS of Androscoggin County, ME and the STUART, BREWSTER of Plymouth, MA and HAMILTON, FREEMAN, COBB, ATWOOD and others from Barnstable County (etc.)…

Maybe it's that you just haven't come across researchers who have traced their lines back to NJ at this point in their research? Do you engage in NJ related research groups/boards?

They might be included in the series of Massachusetts Vital Records to 1849 or 1850. I just searched on my site <a href="http://www.dunhamwilcox.net/">http://www.dunhamwilcox.net/</a> for SANDS, then refined the search first for Massachusetts & then for Vital. The search engine notes 40 hits for that combination so they might be worth checking.

No not unreasonable, just flustrated. Most of my NJ ancestors moved west after a Generation or two.<br />
One of My earliest ancesters who were in NJ came down from NH about 1660 or so and raised a family whom after a generation began to spread out westward. Hugh DUNN who worked wht the baptist group in Piscataway New Jersey let fairly good records of his activities including marriage to Elizabeth Drake.<br />

Have been looking for another ancestor whom I remember was listed as an early resident in establishment of Newark NJ but can't seem to find that record so I can continue the serch.<br />
Some of my MD cousins moved to NJ from maryland but do not know when.<br />

Not those Sands, unfortunately. They keep popping up when I'm looking... these Sands are from Massachusetts, immigrated in 1839 and 1840. Thank you, though!

Thanks David but my Cogans were not in NJ until the 1900's. They were in NYC, Wash DC and Philadelphia before that. However, it seems the NJ archives are all in North Jersey except for the one for Atlantic County.

In what time period are you searching for SANDS? I have a James SANDS of Block Island, RI, in the 1600s. My line comes through his daughter Mercy who married Joshua RAYMOND.

You can try USGENFORUM.com which is free-then type in your state, then your area-county.<br />
You can try Genforum.com -and again, there will be one for your particular area.<br />
<br />
Mine all came to Georgia-and did not leave-so I know what you mean. But after a few years-we all get interested in the LATERAL LINES- and they go all over!<br />
