Pat - do you live in Maryland and have access to the MD Archives, or better yet, the MD Historical Society? They have a great selection of books... Keep in mind that many Germans came thru NY, or Phila. I know yours came thru Baltimore, but don't overlook some great books that their title begins with PA (for ex. PA Germans to MD, a great book!) You can do searches at Genealogical Publishing Inc's website - they have a wonderful selection of rock solid research books that I use frequently. Good luck!

No, I do not live in or near Md. Wish I did. We live in California.
