Dear Caroline: I am not sure of any indexes that have been done on that account. There are the series of Eastern Shore Newspaper Abstracts by Irma Harper --which we carry (at least those presently still in print), but they are very bare bones abstracts. I am not sure--knowing the way newspapers were edited and published in those days--whether the information you are interested in would be in a newspaper. They lacked the "society pages" that we have today, and if it were mentioned at all, it would have just given name of bride/groom and maybe where it took place--but not much more than that. Two other places worth checking as far as newspapers of the time are the Maryland State Archives--check their website--the Special Collections section--and you may want to also check the Enoch Pratt Public Library in Baltimore (would imagine they have a website as well) who have a large collection of Maryland newspapers. Just as an added bit of information we have begun once again abstracting the wills for Caroline County and have completed a volume covering the years 1854 through 1866 ($14.00) Hope this helps a bit.--and just wanna say "Hi" to you out there on the coast and "Happy New Year." <<<Neil>>> www.familytreebookshop.com Featuring abstracts so thorough, the dead come to life ----- Original Message ----- From: "lotswife" <lotswife@whidbey.net> To: <MDCAROLI-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2002 6:26 PM Subject: [MDCAROLI] CAROLINE CO.

The Denton Journal from roughly 1860 -1950 is completely searchable online. Just go to the Caroline County librbary page and look for the link there. Thou gh not the range you asked for originally, they do have what we call society page sections and a wealth of information you would have never guessed to look for in the first place. Much of it is fairly personal, but I have yet to find something that didn't just make me feel like I was seeing more than I could have hoped for. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Family Tree Bookshop" <neilkeddie@beast.toad.net> To: <MDCAROLI-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, January 18, 2002 2:07 PM Subject: Re: [MDCAROLI] CAROLINE CO.
