The Descendants of Founders of New Jersey welcomes interest and enthusiasm for the early history of the land that became New Jersey. With colonies not only of England, but also of the Netherlands, Sweden, and Scotland, plus Native people, French settlers, and African-American colonials among eligible New Jersey ancestors, DFNJ is constantly searching to newly document its colonial history.​
