Hi, I'm passing this on to Delaware & the Eastern Shore of Maryland mailing list, because there are so many people listed in this 1860 census record mentioned as having been born in DE & MD. I know there was a large inflex from DE & MD to Delaware Co., PA, in the 1880s because of industry -- my WEBBER Family being one of them. I was a little surprised to see it as early as 1860 or before. Don't just rely on the surname index -- there are some names missing from it -- go to the town, township, borough, etc. where your relative may have lived. The following was sent to me by Karen << [email protected] >> Here ya go, Helen, <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~cenfiles/pa/delaware/1860/">1860 Federal Census for Delaware County, PA</A> or http://www.rootsweb.com/~cenfiles/pa/delaware/1860/ This should take you right to it. It's a list of files. In order to find someone, you'll need first to go to the Index folder near the bottom of the list. Unfortunately, the index files are given numbers rather than alphabetic names, so you have to fish around until you find the proper index file. Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy to navigate. You can always save the files in your favorites and rename them (not the http:// designation, just the descriptive name on your system). Have fun! Karen Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS)
