Hi Mona, I also found that some of my families used a mortuary that was directly across the street from Greenmount Cemetery. I believe the name began with a T, but simply cannot remember it. The mortuary is closed but the records are at the Maryland Historical Society. I am sure you could search there if you have a date. My understanding is that the records are not in good order. I was told that I could request a search for $30.00 an hour which I might not mind if the records were in order. But it could take several hours for a search and nothing found. My budget won't fit that. If I could get up there, I would undertake a search myself, but although I live on the Eastern Shore, my husband has a bridge problem and I do not leave him to go up there myself.

HI, Probably Tickner? Some of my family used them, too. Hard to locate records, but I will check at the Archives on my next visit. I am in Wisconsin, so not sure when I can get there--but I plan on it sometime in 2006.
