This book is the first volume in a series compiled from Bible
records originally collected by members of the Delaware chapters of
the Daughters of the American Revolution. The majority of the
family records deal with the late 1700s through the early 1900s,
although a scattering of records extend beyond this period: the
earliest record is dated 1652 and the latest is dated 1960. Some
records are sketchy, and simply list the date of the event and the
names of the principal people involved; others are more detailed
and include where it occurred, who officiated at the event, and, in
the case of death, the cause. Many entries include a description of
the origin of the records, such as the owner of the original Bible,
where it was printed, the name of the publisher, and by whom the
records were copied. The records are listed alphabetically by the
principal family name; in addition to marriage, birth and death
information, newspaper clippings, handwritten notes attached to or
written on the pages, and personal letters found in the Bibles are
also transcribed. The author provides additional biographical
information at times, as well as explaining spelling peculiarities
of a name and describing any unique physical characteristics of the
Bibles. A cross-index will help the researcher locate buried names
in the records.
