Virginia A. Brown Papers
The Genealogical Society of New Jersey
Prepared by Janet T. Riemer – 2016
The collection is primarily the work of Virginia Alleman Brown, (1914-2015). A librarian by profession, she was also a noted genealogist. She carried on the work of her mother Helen Potter Alleman and some of the items in the collection are those Virginia inherited from Helen. These folders are labeled (HPA).
Both Virginia and Helen worked on families in northwestern New Jersey and northeastern Pennsylvania. As some families lived on both sides of the Delaware River, there has been no distinction in the files. A (p) after a file name on a listing, indicates the presence of one or more photographs in the file.
