One of my GRAHAM ancestors was a policeman in the City of Baltimore during the 1820s and 1830s. Does anyone know of a source of records for the Baltimore Police Department during that period of time? Any information and/or suggestions would be appreciated. Jerry

Several years ago, I purchased approximately 16 rolls of microfilm from the State Archives in Annapolis and have gotten loads of information from them. As you all know by now, such purchases can no longer be made. Instead, we are offered CD's of those records at about $40.00 per CD. Since hauling CD's to a local library to view them is a bother, I decided to find a company who would convert those microfilm records to CD's which would then allow me to view them on my computer. I first searched on line to find such a company and was not encouraged by the prices to do so. Luckily, I found a small company in the Baltimore area who agreed to do the conversion for a reasonable price. After converting about five of the microfilm rolls to CD's, they told me that the remaining rolls could not be done since their contents were not unifomly arranged. Although I accepted the excuse, I still believe that they had quoted a price that was not profitable and wished to end the arrangement. I never did find another company to do the remaining rolls at an acceptable price. As for the five rolls that were put on CD, they were excellent and saved many trips to the libraries nearby. At the time that I viewed these CD's, my computer's OS was Win 98 part of whose package was Kodal Imaging. I have since gone to a new computer running Win XP which does not have Kodak Imaging as part of it's system. Result----I can no longer view the CD's.

It's in the moderate price range, but you will no doubt find similar programs at every price level through your search. Good luck with working this out.

I don't know when they were married but I believe it was in Baltimore as they immigrated separately as far as I have been able to tell (both were born about 1825 in Bavaria). Sometime between 1860 and 1870 Johanna died and George brought the two children to Wisconsin. I want to try to find her death certificate as well. There are a lot of unknowns with this family so far.

Hello Frank, I use Microsoft Digital Image and it will view many, many types of image files. The .tiff is used to keep the original in good format. You can convert your tiff to a jpg or whatever you want to convert it to. Someone mentioned ACDsee and that is also a good program and cheaper than the Microsoft digital image. By the way, what part of Baltimore are these CD's for. What would you sell a copy of the CD's for? Some of my ancestors lived in Baltimore before they came into Washington DC. Anyway good luck with your CD's. I certainly would not pay a company to convert the images. If you can afford to put some money into a program that is you best bet. There are many out there and some are cheaper than others. I love my Microsoft Digital Image but I also used ADCsee from the time it came out to about a couple of years ago.
