Black family history research can pose unique challenges as you follow your family into the 19th century, prior to the passage of the 13th Amendment, and earlier. This presentation highlights resources available at the Delaware Public Archives for researching Black family history within Delaware, from the present day and throughout the history of the state. Discover techniques to uncover crucial details about formerly enslaved ancestors and Delaware’s rich history of free Black communities.
