Mary Ellen: Maryland Historical Society (MHS) does not have death or marriage certificates. Death, birth and marriage records from the Maryland State Archives or the Vital Statistics of the Health Dept., or for modern marriages, local circuit court. MSA has death records for Maryland's 23 counties from 1898-1987, and for Baltimore City from 1875-1987. Restricted from 10 yrs of date of death. http://www.mdarchives.state.md.us/msa/refserv/html/deathhis.html Marriage records from most local jurisdictions prior to 1914. After that date there are both statewide and local records many of which can be found at the Archives. http://www.mdarchives.state.md.us/msa/refserv/html/comarria.html MSA has birth records for the 23 counties from 1898-1978, and for Baltimore City from 1875-1978. Restricted for 100 yrs from date of birth http://www.mdarchives.state.md.us/msa/refserv/html/birthhis.html Maryland State Archives http://www.mdarchives.state.md.us/ Reference Department Maryland State Archives 350 Rowe Boulevard Annapolis, MD 21401 Fax: (410) 974 2525 Email: ref@mdarchives.state.md.us Also check with the Dept. of Vital Statistics for death records after 1987 if that is what you are looking for: http://www.dhmh.state.md.us/html/vitalrec.htm For current marriage records you have to contac the circuit court in the jurisdiction you think the marriage took place in. http://www.mdarchives.state.md.us/msa/refserv/forms/html/circts.html ===== Kathi Jones-Hudson MD Tombstone Transcription Project Manager http://www.rootsweb.com/~cemetery/maryland.html __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
