A subscription to the Genealogical Society of Salem County's tri-annual newsletter, the
Fenwick Colony Gazette, is included with membership dues. The newsletter has been in print for over 20 years, and it includes genealogical queries, lists of upcoming events, extracted genealogy data, and helpful hints and suggestions. Digital copies of the
recent newsletters are available online for members, while older issues are stored at the

The "Ancestors' Attic" newsletter column runs in the Elmer Times every few months. Each article traces the family history of a different South Jersey family. The articles are written by Bonny Beth Elwell, president of the Genealogical Society of Salem County. Below is a complete listing of the articles that have been published, with links to those that have been digitized.
