Hi Everyone: The Maryland groom's index is now up on my site for 1951-1972. Below is the text of the original message describing the bride's index. And here are direct links to the groom's indices: http://www.donslist.net/PGHLookups/MDmal195162M.htm http://www.donslist.net/PGHLookups/MDmal196372M.htm As many here likely know, the Maryland marriage index is now online on the state archives site. You can get there through this link: http://guide.mdsa.net/series.cfm?action=viewSeries <http://guide.mdsa.net/series.cfm?action=viewSeries&ID=SM225> &ID=SM225 They have put the microfilm images of the both the bride's and groom's indices into pdf files. I've rerendered these for my site to make them more accessible. The pdf's are 70 MBytes or larger whereas my site allows you to browse the images very rapidly. I've also created a searchable text index from the images. It's imperfect so don't be discouraged if you try it and you don't find what you're looking for. The images have either the brides or grooms in alphabetical order one year at a time so it's not hard nor time-consuming to search. I've finished the Bride's index and got it up on my directory page: http://Directory.DonsList.net <http://directory.donslist.net/> The Groom's index is in progress and should be finished in about a week. Here are direct links to what's up right now: http://www.donslist.net/PGHLookups/MDfem195162M.htm http://www.donslist.net/PGHLookups/MDfem196372M.htm It's divided into two pieces covering 1951-1962 and 1963-1972. Please cross-post to other Maryland groups about it if you feel it's appropriate.
