Delaware Cemetery Updates – 08/17/2022
The Cemeteries in Delaware page is in the process of being updated. Bob Eckman (Website volunteer and DGS member) has created a database of Delaware Cemeteries. Bob has been working on finding additional cemeteries that were not in the original data, removing duplicates, and documenting each one. In addition, he has been referencing the cemetery on the Find-A-Grave website and adding the reference link and a link to google maps.
Update: The table now includes 839 entries. Included are links to Find-a-Grave and google maps where available. This update also includes a notes field where appropriate.
The new table is a work in progress and will be updated occasionally.
Please thank Bob for his hard work.

Member has breakthrough after New Website Event!
Thank you all so much for the amazing website and the event last night with guidance on its capabilities.
Nona – DGS Member – 02/02/2022
I’ve been searching for years for insight on my gggreat grandparents who were married in Delaware in 1819. A challenging timeframe to get much information.
I revisited the DGS Journal Archive last night using the search function by name and I had a breakthrough-found not only the answer to my question but a NOTE that explained a little of the situation. A death, a marriage, two babies, a divorce and a whole new marriage in Elkton!
