Walter Thetford is recorded as surety in a 1750 Kent County marriage. Any information relating to Walter or other members of the Thetford (Tedford) family would be appreciated. Tom Davis

I'm urgently searching for information on the Burgin/Burgan/Burgen family in New Castle (Appoquinimink Hundred, and poss. other locations) in the 1700s, 1800s, or earlier. I'd be very grateful for any info at all, and will be happy to share what I've got. Thanks! Ramond Burgin Big Stone Gap, VA burgin@mounet.com (540) 523-1826

Hi Dave You are a real lifesaver, we have been looking for her for over a year. I'm in Massachusetts and if I can ever do you a favor please let me know. Thanks Dolores

Hi Dolores, This is an easy one for me to do, because I own the Kent County tombstones books. The cemetery on Silver Lake here in Dover is called Lakeside M. E. Cemetery. Zillah Price, section 3, b. 2/2/1864; d. 12/25/05; daug. of Eliz. Ann and William H. Sapp. DB ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Yes...I grew up in the area. Thank you for your input. The trouble that I am having is quite a few generations back. I do not know how to link yesterday to today or vice versa. My family all still lives in Sussex Co. and they help as much as they can.

Would some kind soul do a cemetary lookup for me.  I'm looking for the date of death of my Great Aunt.  She is buried in the Silver Lake Cemetary, Dover, Kent county with her Mother and Father, William H Sapp and Eliza A Sapp.  I have a picture of the headstone and the date of birth but not the date of death.  Her name on the inscription is Zillah Price born 1864 died ??? Thanks in advance for any help Dolores

Thanks so much. This will be a BIG stepping stone for me. I have read dozens of your postings around the web---but could not find any succesful connections. They did live in b. Hund. In fact, my great--aunt still lives in the house. Rumor is that there is a famiy bible somewhere in there (she is quite a pack rat) but she is not giving it up. I guess sometimes people hold on to things that mean something personal. Hopefully I will be able to ask her on my next trip home. Do you know any more of Reuben and Nancy? Where did you discover this little tid but? THanks for the help.

Hi John, I saw your post regarding the Liddell Family. Although this is not my family, I did run into a couple researching this family at the DE Historical Society Library located at 5th & Market, Wilmington, DE. I don't remember their names but do remember the Liddell family they were researching owned property in Pencader, New Castle County and belong to the Pencader Church in Glasgow, DE. The DE History Library has the church records and a map with the property location. I see you live in Maryland, they mention some of the family had moved into Cecil Co and possibly other areas of Maryland. If you haven't already you might to try to a posting to USGENWEB.com New County Co. Delaware queries and check out the probate index at DE State Archives online http://www.state.de.us. Regards, Kay Schorah New Castle, DE

I am new to Delaware research. I am trying to trace James, John, Moses, or Thomas Liddell/Little/Ledell/Lydall (or variant spellings) who were said to be in New Castle County ca. 1750. Can anyone suggest sources I could consult on the internet, such as land records, and how to find them?
