I appreciate all the replies so far.

I do try to research as much as possible and do have concerns about anything "Old Catholic". I'm willing to travel. Part of my past apprehension was a fear of what would be required of me, but Im ready, and I'm not looking to be told what I may selfishly want to hear.

I'm not above listening to any well researched ideas, I'm just trying to be as prayerful as possible while I reflect on these choices. I'm going to refrain from posting any personal opinions while asking for others.

If that doesn't put down your concerns and settle this particular, then "take care".

I'm glad, however take a bit of ironic advice via dead enemies; "Trust, but verify."

First off if you haven't, then make it a habit of  going right to the source; don't accept someone else's quote(?) or translation(?) given a choice and really, really really really really digest and ponder every term, word, phrase etc.

We are told that we will answer for every idle word, but I don't see it said that they are necessarily ours.

Rough "transition", huh?

Look at the National Registry at this link, New Jersey on pages 53-54. Looks like 14 locations in NJ:

While traditio is a good place to start, caution.  
One listed with a smiley face near me has a lineage which is not Catholic.  When I asked traditio about it they said, "if it walks like a priest and talks like a priest, be grateful you have mass."
