We know that the names appear from various anniversary publications, and the cemetery records which are in existence. I will try to find a link for you. Which of these names are you looking for? any idea at all which county they came from? If you can narrow down the parish in this area in which they lived--and you can do that by looking at the most recent marriage and baptismal records, then trace the parents records--you can contact the archives of the Archdiocese of Baltimore. www.stmarys.edu/archives/arc_genealogy.htm
