Roy C Pollitt

Roy C. Pollitt (1950- ) was born in Wilmington, Delaware to a family whose roots go back to the late 1600's in the area now known as Princess Anne, Maryland on the Eastern Shore. He graduated from the University of Delaware with a BS Business Administration degree majoring in Finance (Securities Analysis). In 1970 the genealogy bug bit him resulting in 40 plus years of fascinating and enjoyable researching in which he is still active. He specializes in the people that lived in Sussex County, Delaware and the three lower Maryland Eastern Shore counties (Somerset, Wicomico and Worcester). His book, "Somerset County, Maryland Marriage Records, 1796-1871", was first published in 1986 and is now available from Colonial Roots in Lewes DE and amazon.com. Pollitt is continuing his research, currently building a database online of people who lived in his ancestral region. He is also working on his first novel. Pollitt's many hobbies include, in addition to genealogy, research into 1950's and 1960's oldies rock and roll music, American history, and amateur (ham) radio. He also was a radio DJ beginning in 1967. He currently lives a life of frantic leisure having become semi-reluctantly retired in 2009.
