The Swedish Lutheran Churches at Raccoon and Penns Neck were the two most important Swedish churches in New Jersey during the Colonial Period. These two communities are located within Salem County. These records consist of minutes of church meetings, fragments of Pastors' Journals, historical accounts of the churches by early Swedish ministers, official documents and records of baptisms, marriages and deaths. The book also has an alphabetical listing of the parish register. This register should be really interesting to the genealogists of family historian as quite a bit of information is given about the member of the church, such as: his or her name along with spouses names, their birth dates, some times their parents names and births are listed, their relationship to other members within the church, children's names and birth dates, material status of children along with their spouses names, members occupation, names of grandchildren and birth dates, and other useful tidbits of information that could help led one to making a elusive breakthrough.
