New Jersey Death Index - 1982 - Surnames L-R

This PDF file contains scanned images of the index to deaths that occurred in the state of New Jersey. This information was obtained through a successful New Jersey Open Public Records Act (OPRA) request filed by the non-profit organization Reclaim The Records against the New Jersey Department of Health in the summer of 2018. This is the first time that this information has been made available to the general public, outside of a few early years of data that were previously only available at the New Jersey State Archives in Trenton, New Jersey. As of July 2018, the years of the state death index that are now available include 1901-1903, half of 1920-1924 (only localities starting with A-H), 1925-1929, and 1949-2017. Files prior to 2001 are available in PDF format, with the PDF's made from scanned images of typeset pages and old dot-matrix printouts. The newer files from 2001-2017 are in text spreadsheet files exported from the state's own databases. As of July 2018, several years of the index are still missing, even the Department of Health's own copies. They are: 1904-1919, the other half of 1920-1924, and 1930-1948. Work is ongoing to try to locate, copy, and/or reconstruct those
