 This
web site is intended for the serious and casual researcher. Click on
the Municipalities bar above and select the township or boro you want
to look at. There you will find 18th and 19th century tax records,
early censuses, cemeteries lists, town directories, maps etc. Then
visit the Genealogical Resources link above where there are numerous
books on Delaware County history from the 19th and early 20th century.
Records are added regularly so please check back often. Most of what
you see here and what will be added comes from the forty-five year
accumulation of Delaware County Historical memorabilia amassed by Keith
Lockhart.This web site has been made possible through the combined
efforts of former Delaware County State Representative Ron Raymond, who
obtained funding for the web site, and historian Keith Lockhart. Keith is a lifelong Ridley
Township resident
and a graduate of Penn State University. He has written numerous
booklets on the history of the area and for many years penned a history
column for Town talk. He has also shared his vast knowledge of local
history through articles for both the Philadelphia Inquirer and the
Daily Times Newspapers.
Through the dedication and hard
work of numerous typists the transcription of the tax and census
records took over two years of work to complete. My sincere gratitude
goes out to these people. A special thanks to my wife, Mary Lockhart,
Donna Greenbarg of Hatboro, Janice Daleandro of Morton, Ethel Dougherty
of Norwood, Dawn Beck of Springfield. Keith Lockhart's collection
contains many rare books and booklets on Delaware County Pa. History
that are not available anywhere else. These booklets run the gamut from

County Society toDetect
