The online index of recorded instruments for Camden County starts in 1978. Anything recorded before that is on paper, at the courthouse, and nowhere else.

A question we could not settle is worth more to you stated than smoothed over, so here are the ones this office left open.
Worth knowing before you rely on the free tier: it carries deeds, mortgages, discharges and cancellations. Lis pendens and federal, municipal and construction liens sit behind a paid subscription. So a free search here is not an encumbrance search, and whether easements and plats fall inside or outside the free tier is not stated anywhere we could find.
The office named above will answer a specific question on the phone, and the most useful one you can ask is what year their online index actually starts. It is a one-line answer and it tells you how much of the chain of title you can read from a desk. Everything older than that year exists, it is simply not online - so an empty search result is not evidence that nothing was recorded.
We run a free screen on any parcel in the United States: the flood zone, wetlands, the survey grid, which county and township you are actually in, who manages the land around it, and what was recorded there before. Every line names the record it came from. No charge, no account.
