I understand that my family first came to this county from Ireland about 1739. I trying to confirm this fact and find the list of family member that arrived.

Because we hold federal records and the government officially started in 1776, we would not have these records. The Delaware Historical Society has a guide for researching Delaware genealogy. Also, try the Delaware State Archives.

Ancestry.com has quite a bit of pre-1776 Delaware records. Ancestry can be accessed for free at all National Archives research facilities and many public libraries.

We have additional information about researching naturalization on our website.
