Hello, I do not know a great deal about searching in Delaware, but I have done a little research there, and I can pass on to you some of the sources I found. 1. I ordered a CD online of part of the 1880 census in Delaware; I think there are 3 volumes - I ordered T9-119 CD from Family Quest Archives by Heritage Quest. I don't have a web address, but I think it might be the Heritage Quest site. Don't know if they have an index for the census or not. 2. I had relatives in the city of Wilmington, Delaware in the late 19th century, so I was able to check the annual city directories from 1850-present at the Historical Society of Delaware, 505 North Market St., Wilmington, DE, though you may need to go there in person (they're not on the web, I don't think). You could write to them and see. 3. I checked (Catholic) church records in Wilmington, at the Family History Center in Wilmington (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 143 Dickinson Lane, Westhaven, Wilmington, DE 19806). On their literature, it says that telephone inquiries should be made to: Douglas McMinn (302) 475-2970; and all mail should be sent to: Wilmington Family History Center, Doug McMinn, Director; 2627 Kimbrough Dr., Wilmington, DE 19810. I don't know if you can order from them long-distance, but you can look on their website (don't know the address - search for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Mormons, or Family History Center, Family History Library), get the order number of items on the website that you wish to see, and see how it all works from Europe. (They have many centers in the U.S. and other places.) 4. There are the Delaware State Archives in Dover, Delaware - but I don't know much about that - hopefully someone else will answer your e-mail with their address, etc. I hope this has been of some help. Good luck. Nancy
