Delaware Counties

Delaware has three counties. Each one handles its own probate files, deeds, and Register of Wills records, but the Delaware Death Index itself lives at the state level with the Office of Vital Statistics. The three counties cover the whole state from top to bottom: New Castle in the north, Kent in the middle, and Sussex in the south.
