SUMMARY:Forgotten Family: Pauper Records and Genealogy at the Delaware
  Public Archives
DESCRIPTION:The Delaware Public Archives offers a treasure trove of ge
 nealogical resources\, including centuries of vital records\, wills\, 
 deeds\, and more. Yet\, many researchers inevitably face frustrating d
 ead ends\, where a family member seems to vanish without a trace—no bi
 rth record\, no property records\, no will or probate. How can we unco
 ver the stories of these seemingly forgotten individuals?Pauper record
 s provide invaluable insights for filling these gaps\, documenting the
  lives of those most often overlooked by history: the poor\, illegitim
 ate children\, unwed mothers\, and others marginalized by society. Thi
 s presentation will explore the evolution of public welfare and poor r
 elief in Delaware\, the types of pauper records available to genealogi
 sts\, and how to access these important resources through the Delaware
  Public Archives.\n\n\n\n\n\nPresenter:  Leah Greer\n\n
