The story of the American Revolution is one of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, and these stories are just waiting to be told. Genealogy can help us tell those stories, but where to begin? Join us as we examine the records of the Delaware Public Archives, the resources that we can use to piece together our family history, and the documents that record our ancestors’ contributions to the fight for American independence.
This presentation will cover the most common records used by genealogists while also exploring lesser-known resources that can be invaluable for those researching their family tree to complete an application for the DAR or SAR. Some of these overlooked resources include Supply Tax records, Journal A, SAR membership applications, and Oaths of Allegiance.
