Hello All, I came across a book recently titled "The Beginnings of Lord Baltimore's Plantation in Maryland" that was written c1634. The wording is still in the old English so it's a bit of a hard read, but a fascinating account of life at that early time on the "frontier". My Nowland family came over in to MD in the late 1600's so it is especially interesting to see what they had to deal with at that time. I have scanned the book and placed it on my web site for anyone who is interested. It is at http://www.midatlanticarchives.com Also, if there are any other Nowland descendants out there I would love to hear from you. Alan -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Hello all.. i've had quite a run of real luck lately... with some real breakthroughs in my research thanks to this list and a bunch of really nice people who have helped me and i wanted to thank every one... Thanks everyone. however ... there are still a few questions and one of them is Henry Wetzel.. Pioneers of Old Monocacy has Henry as the last son of Martin Jr his sister Elizabeth(?) is mentioned in The Frederick ReFormed Ch Bk for 1746-89 the earlier Wetzel siblings were baptised in the Lutheran Records I beleive but Henry isn't there.. Johann martin Sr was noted by Rev. Candler as having received communion in the Lutheran service which qualified Johann Sr for naturalization.. i imagine that Rev Candler's untimely passing marks the separation of the Wetzels from the Lutheran to the Reformed Church.. more ???? marks does anyone recognise Henry? I almost wonder if he isn't mentioned somewhere in Apple's Church Records.. if anyone has access to those records I could use a look-up.. as always thank you jay --------------------------------- Get your email and more, right on the new Yahoo.com
