Actually Tim, Howard Co. wasn't formed until 1851 --out of parts of Anne Arundel and Baltimore Co.'s. It is one of the later formed counties. Probably why it can be confusing to research that area - depending on when it was and where it was exactly it could be AA or BA Co. records that researchers need to check. ===== Kathi Jones-Hudson MD Tombstone Transcription Project Manager http://www.rootsweb.com/~cemetery/maryland.html __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
