Surnames listed as birth records in Baltimore, Maryland before the law was passed that all birth be recorded. These took place from 1865 - 1894. It has been known that recordation of vital records in Baltimore City was required by law starting January 1, 1875, but unknown to a lot of people, there existed a system for keeping such records prior to that date. So the following records that were recorded didn't seem to follow any set rule as to when or how a birth was recorded. *************************************** ****** ( There were NO (Q) surnames listed **** *** ***** ( R ) surnames *********************** REINHART, GEO.
