Both places you mentioned are good places to visit i.e. State Archives and Md Hist Soc. Probably depends on where you are staying. It is sometimes hard to get into the archives. They are both closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Land records, death records, wills etc. can be found at archives. The Historical society has lots of family histories, charts etc. as well as the usual census records and obituary information. -----Original Message----- From: RA Stansbury [mailto:rastansbury@worldnet.att.net] Sent: Saturday, October 05, 2002 10:31 AM To: BALTGEN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [BALTGEN-L] STANSBURY - Baltimore Visit Next week Hello List, I am planning to be in Baltimore next week looking for information on my line of STANSBURY ancestors. I am wondering where I would be best spending my time. I was planning to probably go to the MD Archives to look for land records first. Is that a good idea? Any other suggestions? Also, how to find Baltimore City Directory addresses and Census locations? Is there any map or cross reference to show where street names and or house numbers have changed? And how to find locations that are in census records. Any suggestions of visiting the MD Historical Society, Baltimore County Historical Society, Dundalk - Patapsco Neck Historical Society? I believe my STANSBURY's lived both in Baltimore City and in the Dundalk area.
