Does anyone know the year in which Maryland began to put the parents of the deceased on death certificates? Information on a 1930 death certificate shows parents and where each was born. I have asked the Archives, but no reply yet. Anne Harris anneharris8@gmail.com

Thanks, Andrew for the link. Everyone note that these are the wills as recorded in the County Will Books, not the original documents held in the Delaware Archives. At Andrew's link, scroll down to the Ancestry.com introduction with links to the Calendars of Wills books, and use them as an index to wills before 1800. In these books, there are entries for both the Archives file number (beginning with A) and the book copies. When writing for a copy from the Archives, definitely get the copy of the original. Not every book does have an index at the beginning. I have found that Sussex Co. Will Book B is at least half illegible. Some or all of most pages are so faint that you can't even tell that there is supposed to be writing there. For Sussex County, the dropdown list has a bunch of books by letter, followed by microfilm numbers beginning with 1 (which commence in 1852). Also for Sussex, some misguided person(s) has reworked the Ancestry.com extract/index pages to have all of the book entries look like all of them are wills. This is not so. The majority of entries are accounts, Administration Bonds, and other estate matters. So if you do not see a citation/reference in the entry for something other than the Archives file number, there was no will and the Archives document is something else. Those of us who have the books can help answer questions on this list for the seriously puzzled seekers.

Teresa and list, After playing with it a few hours last night, a couple of observations: 1. In the TOOLS box at the top-right of the image pages, there is an option to "invert colors." This changes black to white and white to black, so the pages appear as they would on microfilm. I found that this helped a tiny bit, at least in attempting to read the index in Book A. 2. Also in TOOLS, is a setting that lets you "Switch to old viewer." Although this does not improve the readability to any great extent, some people may find it easier to navigate using the "old viewer." Having ordered scores (hundreds?) of probate records from the DE Archives, I can say that the quality of the "hard copies" received from the Archives varies dramatically, based on the quality of the source document. With the Archives, though, they often send three or four copies of a single hard-to-read page--at different brightness/contrast levels--to optimize the chances of being able to read it. This has always been greatly appreciated! Unfortunately, on Ancestry.com there does not seem to be a way to save a page to your computer so that it can be manipulated to improve readability. That would be my main complaint at this point. That being said, it is still a tremendous resource. I spent last night just scrolling through wills to see the family names of people's married daughters, and also the witnesses to the wills. When you don't know the name of your 4-g grandfather's wife, one of the few hopes is that her mother or father or sibling or someone named her by her married name in a will! Andrew H.

Andrew, Roy --- I'm not an "official subscriber", so I can't comment directly to Ancestry. I believe that the index, sort of, is already on Ancestry in the form of abstracts. Also, using the enlarging tool on the viewer, I was able to "sort of" see the contents, if not an index of the Book A, No 1. But it was very fuzzy. I agree, this would be a great boon to we researchers, esp the way our folks hopped across the state line. Less time to spend in Georgetown and Dover... we have several days in the plan for December, or possibly next spring. Looks like a process of resetting the contrast, as the underlying images look pretty good. I went ahead several books at random, and encountered a different problem - images cut off, and certainly on the dark, but legible side. I wonder if the various image editors could handle an image that one would download, and then seek to "play with"? I have other project and genie priorities today. Again thanks for the alert.

Hi Andrew, That would be the Mary Ann Tucker whose birth place and arrival in this country I seek. Family lure has it that three young women, Margaret Greer,(Grier), Marry Ann Tucker, and one other came to this country from Ireland to serve as babysitters or teachers. They would have been born about 1840-42. So far no luck in tracking down that information. I do thank you for your kind offer and for your interest.

There is an obituary for E. B. Pennington in the Sunday, March 19, 1916, issue of the Baltimore Sun (Volume XVI, Issue 12, Page 8) which names his widow as "Mary A. Pennington (nee Tucker)." Although the obit is very short, it does say where he lived ("near Kennedyville, MD"), his age ("in his 79th year) and there was also a note in the obit: "Middletown, DEL and Philadelphia papers please copy." Middletown must be significant. If you do no have a copy of this obit, please let me know and I will e-mail to you (or anyone else). It was found on GenealogyBank.com. Andrew Huston
