Does anyone know how to get marriage records for NJ online? I was thinking about how to get my own, as well as possibly being able to search through and view other people's. Thank you.

I don't believe NJ has an online database. It has been my experience doing my family tree that NJ, unlike many states, has very limited online records. I have used the databases on Ancestry.com for family genealogy, but they require a subscription.

LDS' index to their on-line genealogical records for the U.S. Just type New Jersey in the search box.
I know from past research that they have some Hudson County records from the 1800's.

True, but many public libraries offer free access to Ancestry.com on their computers.

Default NJ Records

New Jersey law protects and restricts the release of vital records, as such, vital records are not public records and cannot be searched online.

This website provides information on registering, amending and obtaining copies of vital records on file in New Jersey.
