I'm trying to find information of the founders of the CNJ. Family history has it that my great (x3) grandfather was a banker, and was a founding board member of the CNJ. If there is a definitive history of the founding of the CNJ out there, please let me know.
Here's an overview of how it came together over the years. Not much detail about board members, though, or any of the people involved.
