I know a lot of us have ancestors who were in Maryland at some point in time so this may be useful. The following article is from Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter and is copyright 2000 by Richard W. Eastman. It is re-published here with the permission of the author. - Archives of Maryland Online The State of Maryland has an ambitious plan to make more than one million historical documents available online. According to the Web site at: http://www.mdarchives.state.md.us/megafile/msa/speccol/sc2900/sc2908/html/in dex.html, these are documents that "form the constitutional, legal, legislative, judicial, and administrative basis of Maryland's government." Some of these documents will be of interest to genealogists. Original documents have been scanned and are available as TIFF images. One example is Volume 3, "Proceedings of the Council of Maryland, 1636-1667," which is indexed by both name and topic. You can see this at: http://www.mdarchives.state.md.us/megafile/msa/speccol/sc2900/sc2908/000001/ 000003/html/index.html Some transcriptions of marriage records are available at: http://www.mdarchives.state.md.us/msa/stagser/s1500/s1527/html/ssi1527.html. Helpful information, such as finding aids and descriptions of microfilmed records, can be found at: http://www.mdarchives.state.md.us/msa/refserv/html/comarria.html. The Archives of Maryland Web site appears to be just getting started; a small number of records are available online today, but that number is certain to grow. Cheryl Rothwell [email protected]
