Carol, Thanks a bunch. George Bacon In a message dated 12/10/2008 7:33:32 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, grannyjo2@verizon.net writes: George, 1. I am surprised you only got two county names when I go to Md. land Rec. net I get a list of all the counties in Maryland 2. After choosing Somerset I also chose the option "Search Land Record Indices" and did the same thing you did 3. I also chose O-Z and since that begins the O names I begin putting in page numbers to get to the V names On page 302 I found the beginning of the V names 4. near the bottom of that page I found the first entry for William Vaughan and that one I couldn't locate easily but the second listing for William Vaughan on that page was book AZ page 5 so I went there and low and behold at the bottom of the page was the indenture between Wm Vaughan and his wife and Thomas Thurman [?] So I think your problem was after you got to the O-Z section you need to type in page 302 of the index and go from there Carol -------------------------------------------------- From: <GB415104@aol.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2008 8:09 PM To: <lower-delmarva-roots@rootsweb.com> Subject: Re: [LDR] Tract Names, William & Mary Vaughan > John, > > This may be akin to admitting my shortcomings on the old fashioned > telephone > party line.
