Our History:

Colonial Roots (formerly known as Delmarva Roots) was founded in 2000. The company is a partnership owned and operated by F. Edward Wright and (his daughter) Holly Wright.

Ed Wright was editor of the Maryland Genealogical Society Bulletin for about 10 years. He is a past president of the Prince George's Genealogical Society and the Upper Shore Genealogical Society. He founded Family Line Publications in Westminster, Maryland around 1988 (another genealogy publishing company) and sold it in 1998 thinking he would retire from the business...but somehow he couldn't manage to stay retired...

Holly Wright joined her father full-time to take on the management of the Colonial Roots marketing, sales, and website in 2003.
