This book is fourth in a series of volumes compiled from 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 extend beyond this point. As is the nature of Bible
records, 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 the event occurred, who officiated
at the event, and, in the case of a 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. Lineage charts are
also provided for some records. The records are listed
alphabetically by 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. An index is provided to help the
researcher locate buried names within the records. Donald. O.
Virdin, the compiler of the previous volumes, has written a preface
to this edition which introduces Donald M. Hehir as the new
compiler.
This book is the sixth and last volume in a series compiled from
records originally collected by members of the Delaware chapters of
the Daughters of the American Revolution. Most of the family
records deal with the late 1700s through the early 1900s, though
many extend beyond this point. As in the previous volumes, the
records are listed alphabetically by 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.
Donald O. Virdin compiled the first three volumes; Donald M. Hehir
compiled the fourth; and Luverne V. Hall and Mr. Virdin the fifth.
This is the largest volume in the series, which is a must for
anyone interested in genealogy in the mid-Atlantic region.
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.
