Very helpful - thanks!  Bottom line: it's extremely challenging to track down NJ vital records online - and for that matter in the US in general (far easier in the UK!)

I should have been more precise in my note: as far as I've been able to ascertain in my own family history research, there's no online mechanism for finding specific NJ vital records.  You can order a record, per the form you kindly provided the link for, but only if you already know the information necessary to make the request (so, some amount of detail is needed).  In my experience, this effectively amounts to going, in person, to some records office somewhere and either reviewing the physical records or looking through microfilm.  As the link here indicates, the specific record office in question varies depending on the date and location of the record you are looking for.

I'd happily be wrong about this, but this is my experience to date.  Does someone know of an online resource for viewing NJ vital records?

New Jersey vital records, like most in the United States, are managed and maintained at the local level.  This typically means going in person (sorry!) to a local archive such as a county courthouse or records office, and looking through their original archives.  Situations vary by town, city, and state.  I would suggest doing a Google search on Union, NJ, to find what their specific practice is.

Good luck!

Staffordshire / Re: Colin Stanley Clark - Army Record

Hello!  I am a very distant cousin of Colin Stanley Clark's - my great-grandfather was his father's first cousin.  Colin's father was Frederick E. Clark of the Dudley/Kinver area.  My great-grandfather emigrated to America, and visited Frederick E. Clark and his family on multiple occasions throughout the 1920's and '30s.  Since he died, all family connections between the UK and the US have stopped - and I would like to revive them.  I see that you have access to Colin's army records.  I don't actually need to "acquire" the records - unless someone wants to give them up - but I'd very much like to know what is in them, as it will help me track down my long lost UK Clark family!

Thanks and best regards,

Michael Clark
Boston, Massachusetts
