Notes:

• Births were frequently not recorded in New Jersey before 1900.
• Marriage before 1900 were frequently not recorded with the state.
• The Federal Government takes a census every 10 years records are available up to 1930. Almost all of the 1890 census burned. The 1910 census is not indexed and many pages are completely illegible because of faded ink. All the other censuses are available, up to 1930. The 1930 census was released to the public in April 2002.
• The State of New Jersey took censuses in 1885 and 1895 that contain very little information of genealogical interest. The state censuses for 1905 and 1915 are also available and provide more information.
• The Erxmeyers, Blanks, and extended family were members of the German Evangelical Church at the corner of Sixth and Garden in Hoboken.

  There is a period of ten years when the church records of marriages at the German Evangelical Church are missing.

  These records starting in the year 1856 are available in the original ledger and notebook form at the Sage Library and on microfilm at the LDS Family History Center, film # 1927677. The LDS film does not contain the later records.

  The German Evangelical Church dates from 1856. It was the first church in Hoboken to conduct services in German. Rev. Dr. Leopold Mohn was the pastor from 1856 until his death in on March 8, 1885. Reverent J. W. Freund was pastor from 1885 until 1889. He was succeeded by Rev. J. Rudolph. Reverent Rudolph was pastor until 1920. From 1921 until 1960 the Reverent Adalbert Q. Wettstein was Pastor. In 1967 the congregation was joined with the First Methodist Church in a common ministry. The church is still active.
