Louann, Maryland didn't begin collecting state wide birth & death records until 1898. You can order Maryland records from the archives. Here is the URL: http://www.msa.md.gov/msa/refserv/html/deathhis.html The archives has posted index cards to death records through 1944.

I am having trouble finding anything, birth or death records on my grandparents, Thomas Kiddy dob16 Jan1895, and his wife Nina Mabel Knott dob April 1896. Some family notes say that Thomas died 22 May 1952, and Nina sometime in 1954. I am told Thomas was born in Pekin. And I think Nina was probably born in Piedmont where her family lived, or Keyser ( I don't know if the hospital was there then or not). But, the census says she was born in West Virginia. I haven't been able to come up with any hits online. Is the only way I can get info is to send to the Vital Records depts. in MD and WV? Louann

Nikka, I too am interested in Piney Grove School. I have a little sketchy information on a Piney Run School which was in the Piney Grove community. Some of the surnames in the community were Beeman, Broadwater, Clark, Fazenbaker, McIntire, Green, Smith and Warnick. Do any of those match any you might know? The school was in Garrett County. When it closed, around 1943, the children were transported to Lonaconing to school. Garrett County Board paid Allegany County $393 tuition for 14 students to attend school at Lonoconing. If you can give me some specific names I might be able to locate a bit more information. Alice >my grandparents lived on/in Stateline, PA.
