Dear List, I made a Word Document of the history given of the State of Maryland Counties. It is quite something to read and I found it interesting to read about counties that may have only been 75 square miles in size! Some were in the 400 square mile size. When you think of that, you realize how easy it was to be in one place and then another over time. If anyone would care for a copy I will send the file by return e-mail. Regards, Linda
