Good evening, everyone! I noticed that Tim posted a sight for old maps...I was hoping someone might have quick access to an early 1900 map of Baltimore. I am looking for the 300 block of S. Curley St. In an attempt to find the address, we discovered that S. Curley St. ends (or starts) with the 500 block on the south side of the park...From there the numbers get higher. On the north side of the park, the numbers start with the 100 block of N. Curley. I don't believe Eastern Avenue has changed in the past decades...so did the city take some houses away to make the park? I was hoping to find the house that the son of our Dannenmann immigrant lived in. Thanks, Linda

My 3g grandmother was Mary E. Connelly. I believe she was from the Howard District of Anne Arundel Co. Came to Baltimore in the 1850's with her husband, Nicholas J. McCauley who she md. on 20 Jun 1834. She was born 27 Jan 1808 and died 10 Nov 1896 according to her death certificate. She is buried in St. Mary's Episcopal Church, Hampden. That's all I know. Appreciate any information leading to her family. Norm Hare

I am looking for anyone related to Samuel and Anna Connelly,their children's names were Loretta,Walter,John,Melvin,Delmar(my greatgrandmother),Naomi,Norma, and Hilda.

My cousin is 1/2 Connelly from Baltimore--do you have any given names and I can check with her.

I am in WI, so obviously cannot attend this meeting, but I am wondering if anyone has ancestors who came from Wales to Baltimore City via New Orleans around 1850? I have searched the Baltimore passenger lists to no avail, and as a child I remember my grandfather saying that HIS grandfather had first arrived in New Orleans. I know that that was an important port, but am wondering how many Welshmen did that to get to Baltimore (and Baltimore was his immediate destination--it's not like he migrated north). Thanks for any info.

There was a recent posting (inquiry?) regarding a Thomas Marshall which I had no interest in and deleted. However, yesterday I received a genealogy newsletter from Calvert Co. and there is a large section on a Marshall family, beginning with a Wm. Marshall b. 1650 in England. There is a Thos. Marshall, Jr. b. 1699 and a Thos. Marshall, III b. 1728, both in Calv. Co. There are many other names listed in this line in Calvert Co. but the list is too long to post here. If anyone is interested in this particular Marshall line, contact me privately and if you include your mailing address I'll be happy to send it to you. Ruth Brooks Delaware

Listers, I'm back with more Burials at Old St.Peters Roman Catholic Church; Baltimore, Maryland 1803 - 1900's. Anyone wishing the attachment, just PRIVATE my email for a copy, or if we have new folks looking for decendants, and you would like the other 4 attachments, just request thru my personal email at >> trobinson42@comcast.net <<. I am attempting to move all attachments into one group, and have it available on my home page. So everyone will be able to go there and see several different items. But I have to depend on my son in law to do all that computer work, and he has been quite busy with his own groups, but will attend to mine shortly. Tim Robinson Catonsville, Balto. Md.

Thanks, Kathi, I will try the look ups and see if that results in anything. The Maryland Archives do show that they have the church records on microfilm but I'm not familiar enough with how they handle their materials to know if one has to go to the archives and view the microfilm or what. Susan

Youcan get most microfilms through interlibrary loan from the MD Archives but for a modest fee. You also can purchase copies of most reels for a reasonable cost. Can't remember all the details.

The church across Middletown road "Old" Gunpowder Baptist, is a small white church with a square steeple, with a sign out front and a glass window above the door saying "Gunpowder Baptist Church". I have photos I took when I visited. All of the tombstones have names and dates, however I understand that there are many, many buried without tombstones. I am tracing HYSORE, and did find one there with her relatives from CROSS and STABLER family members. I checked MSA for church records and only found meeting minutes, and few congregation lists but no burial records. When I wrote to the "New" Gunpowder Baptist I received a note back from their secretary stating that they had no records as there were people buried there from "all over Maryland and Pennsylvania". She gave me the name of Albert Cummings as the caretaker (this was in 1997) . When I wrote to him, he was kind enough to send me a copy of a newspaper article written some time ago (which I cannot immediately find now). Walt is right the idea was donated ground that could be used by anyone at all with or without connections to the church. The lady I found was the wife of a Methodist minister. When I find the article, if anyone is interested I'll post it. But if anyone has had better luck in finding any records I would appreciate knowing about them. Donna

Believe me, it isn't just the comoon names that can be difficult. Sometimes uncommon names can be too. My family contains the names Wimpling and Regler. There are 11 Wimplings in the SSDI and I am related to all of them and knew most of them. That is not just for Maryland, that is all over the country. I wish you luck on finding your Marshalls. Is has been frustrating but extremely interesting doing my research. Monica Mullikin >

Walt, thanks...that explains why my ancestor was married in an Episcopal church, all of his children married in the Methodist church, and yet he and many family members are buried in the Baptist cemetery. I come from a long line of frugal, bargain hunting folks! Susan

Tim, thank you for your interest and information on Thomas Marshall. Unfortunately, I seem to have been cursed with ancestors who had common surnames and then used common given names! I have discovered that there are LOTS of Thomas Marshalls out there, in various localities, representing many different lines. Sifting through them is, as you know, time consuming and frustrating. I tend to save everything in case I find out later that there really was a connection. But I have found out (with the help of a paid professional) that my Thomas Marshall was born in Baltimore County and lived there all his life. In fact, this particular Marshall line may go back quite a few generations in basically the same place. But not to be confused with the Thomas Marshall line of Calvert County, the Baltimore City Marshalls...or the Thomas Marshalls of Virginia or West Virginia, etc. Again, thanks, Tim. Your information goes into my "save just in case" file! Susan

Try getting someone at Books We Own to do a look up in one of the books containing church and/or cemetery records. http://www.rootsweb.com/~bwo/maryland.html I believe there are some church records there by Harry Peden that might be helpful. Also, unless I'm mistaken, there is no such thing as interlibrary loan for the documents/film, etc. at the Maryland Archives -- would be interested in knowing if someone knows for sure one way or the other.

Just wanted to say Thank You to everyone for helping me...Hope you all have a great day!!!!!! Thanks again,Bonnie

Here see if this helps you any. I am also looking for another site where they had posted the cemetery listing. I will send it when I find it again. Maybe you could send for this on an interlibrary loan. http://www.mdarchives.state.md.us/msa/speccol/catalog/002300/html/sc2348.htm l EM -----Original Message----- From: Smlathrum@aol.com <Smlathrum@aol.com> To: BALTGEN-L@rootsweb.com <BALTGEN-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Monday, February 18, 2002 5:25 PM Subject: [BALTGEN-L] RE: Gunpowder Baptist Cemetery..thanks! >Thanks to all of you who provided responses to my question about this >cemetery.

Hi Bonnie, I am a retired Letter Carrier, the P.O. that Tim is referring to is the Halethorpe P.O. and was located on Linden Ave. in Arbutus as he says. I started my career there 1957-1960. Why don't you call the Main P.O. in Baltimore and ask them. Possibly they can help. Or call the National Association of Letter Carriers on Patapsco Ave. Bob DALY -- Baltimore Cuchulainn--The Ard Righ Tir Na nOg Researchiing: DALY, McGARVEY, McGINLEY, HADEL, LEWIS, PERSONETT(E), CAIN, CROSS, VAN WOGGELUM, MOHAWK - Sachem - CANIACHKOO, DU CHESNE, HARRISON, ROBERTS, WILSON, OR(A)(E)M, SEYWERT, CONDIT, OGDEN, ROLL, ACKERMAN, BOLTON, BURTON, TIPPING(S), ARUNDEL(L) ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

According to the old maps I have, Colvon was at one time called Potter and East was called Rogers Avenue. No sign of a Chestnut on any of my maps.
