This was such a good and helpful presentation! I'm now a member of the DE Genealogy Society for the next two years and have found new information about my Delaware ancestors in just two hours of searching using the links provided in this webinar.
My recent book, Across the Creek: Black Powder Explosions on the Brandywine, is another source specifically for genealogical research into the duPont powder mill workers. Each of the 235 people who perished in gunpowder explosions is covered as are most of their families.
Looking for the Williams family, Head: James, spouse: Rhoda, off springs: Talbert, Ann, May, James Jr.,, etc.
