The local and general history books published in Delaware are rich resources for genealogists researching early American families. As one of the original thirteen colonies, Delaware’s historical publications often include information on colonial settlers, Revolutionary War participants, and early landowners. County and town histories may feature church rosters, cemetery transcriptions, and biographies of prominent citizens. These sources also offer valuable context about Delaware’s unique blend of Dutch, Swedish, and English influences. For those tracing African American ancestry, post-Civil War community accounts and Freedmen’s records are sometimes included. Delaware’s compact geography belies the depth of its history, making these books indispensable for tracing family roots in the Mid-Atlantic.
