Here are some interesting notes taken from the databases descriptions in the book:
– Colonial censuses exist for 1644 and 1647 taken for New Sweden, and there are censuses taken by the British beginning in 1671. Delaware has never taken a state sponsored census.
– City Directories date back to the 1850s
